Description: Recently I had the pleasure of talking to Ted Gibson from his eponymous TedLab at MIT which researches why human languages are the way they are, how people learn and process language, and the relationship between language and culture. In this interview we talk about his work with numbers, colours, word order, and information theory across various languages and his search for simplicity in explaining the complexity of language. ************************************************************************ Listen to the full interview here (or iTunes, or Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts): anchor.fm/canguro-english/episodes/How-language-works-with-Ted-Gibson-egoeuh ************************************************* Visit the TedLab website: tedlab.mit.edu ************************************************* Stay updated on how to learn English: Facebook: bit.ly/CanguroFbPage Official Facebook Group: bit.ly/CanguroFbGroup Instagram: bit.ly/CanguroInstagram Listen to the podcast: bit.ly/CanguroPodcast Twitter: bit.ly/CanguroTwitter *************************************************** Become a patron and sponsor free English education here: bit.ly/CanguroPatreon **************************************************** Buy official Canguro English merchandise here: bit.ly/CanguroMerchandise
