Language is fascinating. It defines humans as a species, placing us head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. Professor McWhorter explores many of the common questions about language, such as: Why isn't there just a single language? Or, How does a language change, and when it does, is that change indicative of decay or growth? In short, everything about a language is eternally and inherently changeable, from its word order and grammar to the very sound and meaning of basic words, while word histories reveal the phenomena of language change and mixture worldwide

The secret life of the brain ; episode 2
Second in a five-part series that presents recent research on the brain. This episode shows that nowhere is learning more dramatic than in the way a child learns language. Examines this process, particularly the role of the left versus the right brain centers, and what can happen when the left hemisphere is damaged by disease. Tells the story of Michael Rehbein, who had to have the left hemisphere of his brain removed to control seizures caused by a rare brain disease. Dana Boatman at Johns Hopkins University, who has been testing Michael ever since his operation, wants to know how the right side of his brain has compensated.
