This episode of Radiolab, entitled "Words," relates to our discussion of the Whorfian Hypothesis that "language shapes thoughts" from lecture 9--particularly the first chapter of the episode. http://www.radiolab.org/2010/aug/09/

"In this hour of Radiolab...We meet a woman who taught a 27-year-old man the first words of his life, hear a firsthand account of what it feels like to have the language center of your brain wiped out by a stroke, and retrace the birth of a brand new language 30 years ago."
