From MIT.WORLD at MIT.EDU Wed Sep 17 10:34:21 2003 From: MIT.WORLD at MIT.EDU (MIT.WORLD) Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 10:34:21 -0400 Subject: [Mitworld] MIT World: Steven Pinker and James Utterback Message-ID: Hello Friends of MIT World http://mitworld.mit.edu We begin our third year of operation with 2 new videos: The School of Science presents Steven Pinker Words and Rules: The Ingredients of Language. In one of his final lectures at MIT, Pinker provides an overview of verbs and how we come to understand the regular and irregular use of them. He also discusses how word use can change when a word becomes commercialized and used in a new context. For those who wonder why they are called the Toronto Maple Leafs and not Leaves, Pinker will explain this and more! This is the first of 6 lectures from Fundamentals of the Brain and Mind: A Short Course in Neuroscience presented in June by the School of Science, with the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, the Picower Center for Learning and Memory, and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT. **************** MIT Sloan School of Management presents Professor James Utterback Innovation: Are you Predator or are you Prey? In this talk Utterback discusses how the emergence of a new technology does not necessarily mean the end of an old technology-- hear the details from an expert in technical innovation, and learn about ice harvesting too. This is the first of 3 lectures from the Sloan Back to the Classroom series. Watch for the others on MIT World soon.
