10: How language affects worldviews(with Seth Wilson)

Sleep Talk Podcast

In this episode, we talk with Seth Wilson, syntactical linguistics expert and host of the Let's Talk Talk podcast about how language is formed and interpreted. Specific topics covered include: - conlangs - the origin of language - the natural/universal order found in all human languages (UG, or universal grammar) - language as an evolutionary tool - "correct usage" and how to communicate most effectively - framing of language - recognizable patterns in language - language in art - how language affects others, how individuals interpret language, and how you can potentially use this to your benefit. We had a great time recording this episode! Thanks for listening. -- Rosalyn and Steph _____________________________ Keep up with Seth and Let's Talk Talk: LTT Twitter: https://twitter.com/LetsTalkTalkPOD LTT Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LetsTalkTalkPodcast/ LTT SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-205955990 LTT iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/lets-talk-talk/id1202606074
