sounds at all in of the languages because the brain is ready to learn a language but the brain doesn't know whether the birth landed them in beijing on london. it has to be ready to learn new language. all of that changes by 12 months when the child has lost that universal language learning ability. as a result of language they've been overhearing in those kinds of social interactions. as a result of the brain rewires itself to learn the language that the child or languages the child has overheard. and this is the beginning of the vocabulary that take place in the second year. all of that in the first 18 months of life. >> you say as society, we have a serious challenge. >> we do because there are two pieces of information that ought to concern us. one is that the achievement gap appears as soon as child enters the school house door. we are seeing quite a significant difference in language skills and mathematical skills between kids from most advantaged and least advantaged homes. that's one concern. the other concern is equally significant. children's experience in school only widens

well, to understand it, you have to think about the design of language, how language works. and in a nutshell, language can be thought of as converting a web of knowledge into a string of words. the wiser's -- writer's knowledge is a semantic network, a mind, wide web. a person's knowledge of the tragedy of -- a number of concepts and images and snatches of melody, all interconnected by various conceptual relationships. when you daydream, your mind can flip from concept to concept in pretty much any order. but when it comes time to share a chunk of this network with another person, you have to convert it into a sentence. what is a sentence? it is a linear string of words, married his mother and killed his father, one word after another. this means there's an inherent problem in the design of language. the order of words in a sentence has 20 two do thing at once. on the one hand it receives as the code for meaning, indicates who did what to whom. at the same time, it necessarily presents some information to the reader before others and thus affects how the information is abso

it's not taking language seriously.it's not taking the fact that every place in the statute were established by the state is used to modify exchange it provides provision the statue is serving to induce state cooperation or coordinate state and federal action. establish by the state is not used anywhere else in the statute except in provisions that are serving that purpose. now, in terms of why would congress do this because this is the question. why would congress think to do something like this? the condition achievement of goals on state cooperation. they did that on medicaid. they offered a lot of inducement on medicaid. because congress can't come comen dear, everyone knew that congress could make states a really good offer but it had to be an offer. the state that refused to accept the medicaid expansion as the statute was written would leave the poorest and most vulnerable people in that state without any help under the medicaid program. that's the way the statute was written. conditioning a whole lot of the stat

these are all languages that are not a part of our lesson plan.hat's why we support bringing back sanskrit as a mandatory subject. >> some 80,000 students have chosen german over sanskrit at indian schools, and the numbers are rising. the indian education ministry has recently swung behind the sanskrit teachers as part of a push by the indian government to return to traditional indian culture. german is again under scrutiny. germany's ambassador to india has been negotiating. he says germans need highly educated people in part for the offices in india. >> the solution is to do both. i think everyone here understands that on the one hand, india wants to maintain traditions. but on the other hand, it wants to spur the economy. so i think it is completely legitimate if young people say, "it helps me professionally. it helps my education if i study a language such as german. >> she hopes she can study in germany one day. so she is continuing with her language studies, and she hopes india's courts and politicians will make the right decision. >> that w

the language consists of many different things.consists of certain melodic fragments-- melodies that every jazz musician will know and can become familiar with. charlie parker, one of the most important improvisors in jazz, created melodies which were so strong and which influenced so many people that they've become cliches of the language. for example, [plays sample] you would never want to play a whole improvisation with that, with that one idea, and in fact, most improvisations i play don't have that idea in them, but they may make reference in some way to that idea. the language of jazz is not just melodic cliches, it's also the harmonies that we use in jazz and the way the melodies that we use relate to the harmonies. for example, if i kind of outline a certain chord [ascending notes of a chord played individually] that chord wants to go somewhere else. it wants to go here. [descending notes of the same chord] now, if i'm going to improvise over those chords, i'm going to try to create a melody which fits with those harmonies.

different languages. it's a short treaty. only four articles. the first one sees it all. you read it and it seems to give a heck of a lot less. what does it give? it allows the crown to serve as a leader for the people and that's a big difference. you can see that the treaty, there is documentary proof in two different languages. there the native common understanding that the document doesn't capture the agreement is probably true in many more instances. out of this phenomena is interpretation of treaties that in fact we use commonly and the courts have increasingly ignored in indian law. they have been important historically. what are they? the treaty should be construed as indians understood them and the treaties should be liberally construed in favor of the indians and they should be interpreted in favor of the indians. they were originally designed to assure that that trust relationship that secretary washburn talked about would in fact be upheld. that the united states would act with utmost good fait

first, it made me really distrust language and the language we use to define mental illness and that it's now changes, you know, culture to culture and changes every generation and tracking that history really helped me sort of undo some of the stereotypes and narratives that we were relying on today to understand war and american foreign policy and psychiatric studies. so that was really wonderful. and then to hear someone who, you know, was, you know, he dropped out of high school, he didn't care about any of that language anyway, and just to hear him talk about it in just a raw manner was, you know, whatever language was available to him was really beautiful and poetic. and to see him make sense of the world. and i really liked just giving someone that chance to speak and show me the world as it came to them as opposed to relying on other people's language to construct the world. and in terms of, you know, this question representing suffering, the representation of suffering especially other people, you know, it's a constant question that comes up when you're writing about grief,
