I joined The Talking Heads Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about language, from how children learn to speak and the mysteries of language origins to animal communication, sign languages, language loss, and whether AI can truly understand us. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

I enjoyed a chat with my old friend Daniel on Because Language, talking about Beyond Words and all things language. It was great to catch up after all these years. @becauselanguage.com youtu.be/ZqIEuFPK5G0

There I was, thinking I was about to be on BBC Radio 2 with Jeremy Clarkson talking about "Bitch: The Journey of a Word"! Sadly, no. It's a scam. I've been getting an increasing number of fake invitations to conferences, TV, podcasts, and radio shows lately. Fellow academics and authors, beware.

Language science sometimes means examining our beliefs a bit critically. But that's part of the fun! Karen Stollznow @karenstollznow.bsky.social explains on this episode. Karen is the author of Beyond Words, available from @universitypress.cambridge.org . becauselanguage.com/146-beyond-w...

Have you read Beyond Words? If you enjoyed it, I’d really appreciate it if you could leave a quick review on Amazon. Publishers look to see whether a book has ‘enough’ reviews, and if it doesn’t, that can stymie an author’s future work. Even a sentence or two helps. Thanks! a.co/d/0dyR6ySh

A lack of pies for a pack of lies? 🥧 What do spoonerisms reveal about the way our brains produce speech? I take a look at the science behind our wonderfully mixed-up words for The Conversation. @theconversation.com theconversation.com/a-lack-of-pi...

A lack of pies for a pack of lies – what spoonerisms reveal about how the brain produces speech

Spoonerisms can be silly and make you laugh. But linguists see something more: a rare glimpse of how the mind plans speech before we even open our mouths.
