Geoff Nunberg on Words as Data

I School professor Geoff Nunberg recently spoke at The Economist’s Ideas Economy: Information 2012 earlier this month in San Francisco. Nunberg uses Google’s Ngram tool to see the growth of vocabularies, how language has changed and how they reflect the social change that is going on behind them.  In the video, he also gives an overview of the I School, how it has evolved and what iSchool students are up to these days.
