- (Upon Reflection series) Host Marcia Alvar speaks with Steven Pinker from the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and author of The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language. They discuss the common blueprint for all languages which include words, phrases, and sentences; how language is an innate social behavior; and the physiology of language in the brain. They also evaluate the evidence for an original proto-language, the current problem of languages that are dying, and the need for promoting language preservation.
