Linguistics in Space: Aliens, Long-Distance Space Travel Science | Jeff Punske | TEDxSIUC

Dr. Jeffrey Punske is an assistant professor and Director of undergraduate studies in Linguistics at SIU. The social sciences and humanities are generally Earth-bound pursuits. But, within the foreseeable future we may be establishing permanent settlements on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. How culture and society will change under these conditions are questions we should ask now. Using history as a guide, we will look at examples of language change from the past to see how languages might adapt and change, for potential contact of extraterrestrial intelligence and inter-species contact.
