Bonus 47: Deleted scenes - outtake stories from Lingthusiasm interviews
🕑 Added 2021-01-07 21:59:19 +0000 UTCWe've interviewed lots of great linguists on Lingthusiasm, and sometimes there's a story or two that we just don't have space for in the main episode, so here's a bonus episode with our favourite outtakes! Think of it as a special bonus edition DVD of the past few years of Lingthusiasm with director's commentary and deleted scenes.
Featuring: Suzy Styles on Space Babies and where the names kiki and bouba came from, Ake Nicholas on the Hawaiian language version of Moana, Kirby Conrod on how people use systems of grammatical gender, and Shivonne Gates on reading Homegirls by Norma Mendoza Denton -- plus Lauren and Gretchen talking about synesthesia.
