Science Café — ‘The Science of Language’

Gretchen Cobb

Language comes in all different forms – verbal, written and physical. While all languages appear to have the common cornerstone of an object and then description of that object or what it is doing, languages can differ vastly from there.

Gretchen Cobb, language research and teacher at Arkansas School for the Deaf joined us in the studio to talk about the commonalities and differences in language, American Sign Language, the social context of language and how language is changing over time.
