Broadcast -- Mini-Med - Language as Communication: Words and Thoughts

In this episode of Mini-Med, broadcast by the Canal Savoir TV station, the talk will explore to what extent is the speed of language acquisition related to how much input children receive? Dr. Elin Thordardottir will present research on French-English bilingual children that speaks to this question.

Mini-Med is a popular public lecture series presented by professors from McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine. Topics covered include: how our senses work … and why they don’t work; how we see the world..and why we see it differently; and how our senses affect our behaviour…and why we behave differently.
