Description

This podcast is for everyone who enjoys or even loves language. Have you ever wondered why we speak or write like that? And how we can find out what is usual, "right" or "wrong" in language use? Then join linguistics professor Christina Sanchez-Stockhammer and linguistics enthusiast Dominic Piazza on a backstage tour of linguistic research as they engage in entertaining chats about all the many fun and interesting aspects of language.
