It's All About the Tongue
A few choice quotes from this week's lecture:
“The tongue does all kinds of amazing things.”
“The tongue is an incredibly malleable organ of speech.”
“Articulation means...that there’s more touching going on with the tongue and the various parts of the mouth.”
Best of all was the analogy the professor gave for the difference between contrastive and complementary distribution: Superman and Batman are contrastive; Superman, Kal-El, and Clark Kent are complementary.
He wins the nerd lecture prize.
