Making sense of a series of graphic representations is not simple, but our brains manage to do it with little effort.
Our conversation with Neil Cohn starts out with a rethinking of language, moving from an understanding built solely on spoken language to the ability to express meaning across a range of modalities. This moves us into Neil's work on how we develop the ability to understand visual narratives and what this means for our understanding of language as a whole.
We chat about emojis, comics, children's books, and a bunch of other fun stuff.
