Booyah K'shah!

0:00:04.140,0:00:07.319
Check this science with none[br]other than my main man,

0:00:07.319,0:00:09.842
Professor Noam Chompsky.

0:00:09.842,0:00:12.766
And in it he's gonna explain about language.

0:00:12.766,0:00:16.956
Why is studying language important?

0:00:16.956,0:00:24.843
>> Language is the core property[br]that basically defines human beings.

0:00:24.843,0:00:29.460
So when animals chat to each other [br]does them talk in language?

0:00:29.460,0:00:32.496
>> Well that's more or less [br]a matter of definition.

0:00:32.496,0:00:36.365
>> Every organism has some means [br]of communication including insects.

0:00:36.365,0:00:40.769
How many words does you know?

0:00:40.769,0:00:50.147
>> Well. The uh, normally humans by maturity[br]have tens of thousands of words.

0:00:50.147,0:00:51.051
For real?

0:00:51.051,0:00:52.959
>> Yeah.

0:00:52.959,0:00:54.920
What is some of them?

0:00:55.812,0:00:57.511
>> Well the ones we're using.

0:00:57.511,0:00:59.010
For real?

0:00:59.010,0:01:01.905
Me know loads of words.[br]Parachute. Photograph.

0:01:01.905,0:01:03.640
>> You count them up they'll be in the --

0:01:03.640,0:01:04.469
Spaghetti.

0:01:04.469,0:01:06.148
>> You count 'em up they'll be[br]in the tens of thousands.

0:01:06.148,0:01:07.374
Camera.

0:01:07.788,0:01:12.243
Me 4-year-old cousin Sanjeef [br]is got a Bangladesh-ee Mum

0:01:12.243,0:01:16.433
but 'is Dad come from States, [br]represent West Side.

0:01:16.433,0:01:20.148
Does you think he'll grow up[br]speaking both languages?

0:01:20.148,0:01:23.046
>> It varies among different people.

0:01:23.046,0:01:25.958
>> So if he speaks two languages[br]you call him bi-lingual.

0:01:25.958,0:01:28.268
>> Many languages you call it multilingual.

0:01:28.268,0:01:31.600
So what you are saying to me Cousin[br]may grow up bi-lingual?

0:01:31.600,0:01:34.514
>> In normal circumstances he will.

0:01:34.514,0:01:38.103
But Professor ain't it wrong to say [br]

0:01:38.103,0:01:45.849
just because he might be able to speak two languages [br]that him will be into ladies and also into boys?

0:01:45.849,0:01:47.380
>> I don't understand.[br]There's no connection.

0:01:47.380,0:01:49.014
You were saying he would be 'bi'.

0:01:49.014,0:01:50.196
>> There's no connection.

0:01:50.196,0:01:51.241
>> There's no connection at all.

0:01:51.241,0:01:57.185
>> I mean whether he ends up liking boys[br]or girls or chemistry --

0:01:57.185,0:02:01.350
You say he's gonna grow up to be 'bi'[br]and I don't think that's fair you saying that.

0:02:01.350,0:02:03.725
>> Bi-lingual means having two languages.

0:02:03.725,0:02:06.300
>> It has nothing to do with 'bi' [br]in the sense that you're thinking of.

0:02:06.300,0:02:09.304
>> Bi-lingual means having two languages.

0:02:09.304,0:02:11.103
>> It has nothing to do with being bi-sexual.

0:02:11.103,0:02:13.859
How would you like it if I called you bi-lingual?

0:02:13.875,0:02:15.764
>> I'd love it if I were bi-lingual.

0:02:15.764,0:02:18.004
>> I'd love it if I were multilingual.

0:02:18.004,0:02:21.044
>> If I had many different languages[br]I'd be a richer person.

0:02:21.044,0:02:23.390
What's multilingual is that having[br]to do with animals --

0:02:23.390,0:02:24.097
>> It's having many languages. [br]

0:02:24.097,0:02:26.514
>> Multilingual is multiple. Multi is many.

0:02:26.514,0:02:30.764
Cuz my Nan's boyfriend, Derrick,[br]'im always tell me Nan

0:02:30.764,0:02:32.959
that he is cunnilingual.

0:02:32.959,0:02:36.133
Now how many languages[br]does that mean 'im speak?

0:02:36.133,0:02:41.689
>> Each. Again let me say each of us[br]speaks many different languages.

0:02:41.689,0:02:44.269
Why don't you create a new language[br]

0:02:44.269,0:02:47.501
where instead of like the word 'bread'[br]

0:02:47.501,0:02:53.043
you have something[br]like 'methalope' or 'methlah'?

0:02:53.043,0:02:55.944
Or no, no, no. Or 'lefina'.

0:02:55.944,0:02:57.646
>> You can, you can do it.

0:02:57.646,0:03:00.244
Or for a table call it 'laplella'.[br]'Laplella' would be better for a dog.

0:03:00.244,0:03:03.956
>> You can do it if you like and nobody [br]will pay the slightest attention to you.

0:03:03.956,0:03:05.515
>> Because it will just be a waste of time.

0:03:05.515,0:03:07.267
But you could earn a lot of money.

0:03:07.267,0:03:09.621
>> No you wouldn't because nobody[br]would pay the slightest attention

0:03:09.621,0:03:11.464
>> since it's a waste of time.

0:03:11.464,0:03:16.746
Yo. So check it out you haz heard [br]the words of my main man.

0:03:16.746,0:03:19.301
Now listen up.[br]Be more clever like 'im.

0:03:19.301,0:03:22.148
And start speakin' proper.

0:03:22.148,0:03:23.376
Respect.

0:03:23.376,0:03:24.264
>> Okay.

0:03:24.264,0:03:27.140
Big out yourself. Safe.
