Ali G Interviews Noam Chomsky
The actor Sacha Baron Cohen interviews Noam Chomsky while in the character Ali G. Some potentially offensive content follows. However, the clip shows a light-hearted Chomsky and his thoughts on basic questions about language that students may also hold.
Why is studying language important? How many words does a normal human know? How does Chomsky feel about being bilingual or multilingual?
