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:
