What is Linguistics? Crash Course Linguistics #1
The first full-length video for the Crash Course Linguistics series I’ve been co-writing for is now up! More to follow every Friday for the rest of 2020. Description:
Language is everywhere. Linguistics is the study of language, but what does that even mean? In this episode of Crash Course Linguistics, we’ll begin talking about some of the features and levels of structure of language, and introduce some of the other topics we’ll be covering throughout this series.
Want even more linguistics? Check out the Lingthusiasm podcast, hosted by the writers of Crash Course Linguistics.
Crash Course Linguistics Preview
I’m excited to announce that the teaser trailer for Crash Course Linguistics is now up, and the following 16 full-length videos will be coming out around this time on Fridays for the next few months!
Welcome to Crash Course Linguistics! Linguistics is everywhere and is super useful for pretty much everyone. Over 16 episodes, Taylor Behnke will teach you all about language, from its structure, to the relationship between language and our identity, the brain, and computers, to writing, language acquisition, and the diversity of human languages!
If you’ve been meaning to learn introductory linguistics concepts in a more systematic manner, or you want an easy way to share your interest in linguistics with other people, Crash Course Linguistics is a great way to do that!
It’s been really fun working on the scripts for Crash Course Linguistics since the beginning of 2020 with Lauren Gawne and Jessi Grieser (Lingthusiasm x Crash Course crossover), as well as seeing them come to life through our host Taylor Behnke and the teams at Crash Course and Thought Cafe.
If you want to get an email when each of the Crash Course Linguistics videos comes out, along with exercises to practice the concepts and links for further reading, you can sign up for Mutual Intelligibility email newsletters.
No Way
I think about this video of Chris Evans badly overplaying his Boston accent to appeal to a crowd at a political rally for his uncle Mike Capuano way too much.
Fuck, he’s gonna teach Gen Z to do this accent.
