Type Theory in Computer Science, Linguistics, Logic

Type theory is one of the central ideas in theoretical computer science and formal linguistics. But what is it, where did it come from, and how does it work? We'll find out answers to all these questions in this video! The video and audio go out of sync for a bit (at 1:41) – sorry! That's my editing to blame, hope it's not too distracting!
