CHAPTER

The Language Game: How Improvisation Created Language and Changed the World

We're going to be talking about Martin and Nick's new book, The Language Game. But first, our latest bonus episode was an interview of us by two wonderful up and coming linguists,. Kitty Liu and Romani Amber of Cambridge University. Wasn't that fun? It was really nice. They have a paper as well. And they asked us lots of clever questions about linguistics and career choices and academia and things. Really enjoyed it. We'll also tackle a recent resolution to the LSA that claimed to be about freedom of expression. What was really behind it? Maybe you don't want to be tackling that one for our next bonus episode.
