After a short update on George’s grad school situation and some musing over our tagline, we get to talking about the very complex interactions that animacy and agency can have with the rest of your grammar. Then we talk about Interlingua, a very boring auxlang that appears to be comfortably readable by anyone who speaks a Romance language.

Dear George, William and Mike,

First of all, let me say, what a great show! I just posted a 5 star review on iTunes. I started three weeks ago and listened to every episode. I wanted to bring to your attention the unwritten rule in podcasting not to go beyond 82 minutes. No one can burn your episode onto CD and give it to a friend if it’s longer than that! Let me be sure to emphasize to coolness of what yo do.

Thanks again,

Robert Murphy
