Wherein we talk a LOT.

Jump right to:

  • 1:50 The International Phonetic Alphabet
  • 30:59 Corrections
  • 36:08 Question 1: Computer languages: Are they languages (in a linguistic sense)? They have rules, syntax, even dialects. They can express certain complex ideas better than English, but they cannot (easily) express arbitrary ideas.
  • 44:50 Question 2: What causes a compound word like ‘bluebird’ (a bird that is blue) to become bahuvrihi like ‘Blackbeard’ (not a beard that is black, but someone who has a black beard)?
  • 58:31 Question 3: If you could snap your fingers and know a new language, what would it be? (Like taking a point in D&D linguistics, you know the language as if you were a native speaker.) No rules, no restrictions (unless you want to pick one per category: real, commonly used; real, uncommonly used; real, dead; fake movie language; conlang).
  • 1:10:55 Last week’s puzzler’s answer
  • 1:12:50 The new puzzler: Three incandescent lightbulbs in a room, three lightswitches outside the room. You can look inside the room once and only once, after which you must decide which lightswitch controls which lightbulb.

Covered in this episode:

  • The IPA (developed by the IPA) ≠ an IPA, although Eli occasionally enjoys the latter too
  • ɹ, ə, æ, ʃ, Ʒ, ŋ, œ
  • Apple’s consistent failing of linguists
  • Cursive IPA, which apparently exists
  • How to learn IPA
  • “Bendy banana vowels”
  • Diphthong? Dip-thong? Dip-tong? It’s up to you, really
  • Computer languages have semantics but not pragmatics
  • A return of Gricean maxims having relevance (so to speak)
  • Compound words in Dutch versus in English
  • The gradual squishing-together of English compound words
  • “Website” is a single word, congrats to the AP style guide on finally joining the 21st century
  • Grilled cheese is not made on a barbeque
  • Agglutinative vs polysynthetic mostly means “where do you put the spaces”
  • Producer Jenny with the LOTR linguistic hot take
  • Producer Jenny with the (basic) elvish linguistic history
  • Zulu is neat and has interesting noun classes/gender-that-isn’t-gender
  • Sign languages are awesome and should have more research done on them!!
  • Also ASL is just a very useful second language in the US
  • This podcast exists because of Diane Duane’s Young Wizards series on multiple levels and y’all should read it (or listen! The audiobooks are so good!)
