The course assembled some of the most important linguists in the world to discuss about several different features related to the human language, how it works and its relation to other communicative aspects, such as the animal communication and the artificial intelligence. These approaches are very helpful for the ones who are starting with the linguistic studies and even for the ones who have some knowledge about the subject.
