Scientific Sense Podcast ® by Gill Eapen: Prof. Chris Kennedy is professor of Linguistics at the University of Chicago. His work is geared towards discovering and describing the principles that are involved in relating linguistic forms to meanings; determining how this mapping is achieved through the interaction of properties of the linguistic system, properties of cognition more generally, and broader features of communicative contexts; and understanding the extent to which structural and typological features of language can be explained in terms of meaning.  Please subscribe to this channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/ScientificSense?sub_confirmation=1
