The shape of language (with Peter Gärdenfors)
Unfortunately, most people view language as grammar, and rules, and concrete concepts. But we need to think about language differently. In this interview I speak to Peter Gärdenfors, professor of cognitive science at Lund University in Sweden. His interest in language spans human cognition, philosophy, evolution, and conceptual spaces. We talk about some of the more abstract elements of language and language learning and I hope it changes the way you see language. ***** You can also listen to this interview here (or iTunes, or Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts): https://anchor.fm/canguro-english/epi... **************************************** Stay updated on how to learn English: Facebook: https://bit.ly/CanguroFbPage Official Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/CanguroFbGroup Instagram: https://bit.ly/CanguroInstagram Listen to the podcast: https://bit.ly/CanguroPodcast Twitter: https://bit.ly/CanguroTwitter **************************************** Become a patron and sponsor free English education here: https://bit.ly/CanguroPatreon **************************************** Buy official Canguro English merchandise here: https://bit.ly/CanguroMerchandise
