Mastering six languages sounds like a slog, right? But in some corners of Europe, it happens—maybe not effortlessly, but more easily than in, say, Ohio. Gaston Dorren grew up speaking Limburgish at home, and Dutch at school. He fell in love in German and picked up Spanish in Latin America, all the while keeping English and French in his back pocket. He tells Patrick about his love of verbing nouns, and Dutch people's unconsciously sexist choice of pronouns. Also, Gaston is a fabulous multilingual (of course) singer. Gaston Dorren has written several books including two translated into English. The photo shows him in in a typically multilingual moment on vacation in Turkey. He is reading the German translation of book originally written in English: A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka.

Met Harry Rouschop, Ruud Kleinen en Gaston Dorren. In de allerlaatste aflevering blikken de makers Harry Rouschop en Ruud Kleinen terug op de gesprekken die ze gevoerd hebben met alle gasten. Wat viel hen op, hoe denken ze zelf over ons dialect en misschien komt er wel een antwoord op de vraag: wordt er over 50 jaar nog ‘plak gekald'. Taaljournalist Gaston Dorren moedigt ouders aan vooral ‘plat te kalle' met hun kinderen. Hij ziet het onderwijs in Luxemburg als voorbeeld voor Limburg. Daar leert men gedurende het onderwijstraject ‘spelenderwijs' drie talen. Momenteel schrijft Gaston een boek met als titel ‘Leer in zeven dagen zeven talen lezen'. Een snelcursus Fries, Spaans, Italiaans, Portugees, Deens, Noors en Zweeds lezen. Het allerlaatste woord is aan Frans Pollux: Adieë wa!

De coronacrisis lijkt tot nu toe een beperkte impact te hebben op hoe we ons voelen, dat blijkt uit onderzoek van het Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau. Toch zijn er zorgen want een deel van de sociale en economische gevolgen van de coronacrisis moet nog zichtbaar worden. Nieuwe problemen stapelen zich op oude problemen, wat de veerkracht van de samenleving onder druk kan zetten. Daarover praten we met Spraakmaker Kim Putters, directeur van het Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau. In het Mediaforum zitten Ronald Ockhuysen en Henrike van Gelder.Dat ‘going Dutch’ betekent dat iedereen bij een etentje zijn eigen maal betaalt, weten de meesten wel. Maar dat ‘Dutch Alps’ een schertsende term voor kleine borsten is en een Dutchman’s fart een zee-egel... wist u dat ook? En zo zijn er nog zo’n 500 andere uitdrukkingen waarbij ‘Dutch’ wordt in Engelstalige gebieden wordt gebruikt. In veel gevallen negatief. Gaston Dorren verzamelde de uitdrukkingen en schreef over de herkomst in The Dutchionary die vanaf vandaag in de winkel ligt. En komt er alles over uitleggen.

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over

Say you have an acquaintance you always see at the dog park or the playground. But one night, you run into them at the movies, and for a moment, it's confusing. Is there a word for that disorienting sense of someone or something being out of place? Yes! Plus: the term sea change doesn't have to do with winds changing direction on the surface of the sea. It's a kind of profound transformation that Shakespeare wrote about. Finally, Martha and Grant have recommendations for the book lovers on your gift list. Plus: titch, chocolate gravy, the overview effect, the cat's pajamas, snot otters, and zoomies. FULL DETAILS The book Lingo, by Dutch linguist and journalist Gaston Dorren, is an enjoyable whirlwind tour of languages throughout Europe. An anachronism is something that's placed in the wrong time period, like a Roman soldier wearing Birkenstocks. But what's the word for if someone or something is literally out of place geographically speaking? You can use the word anatopism, from the Greek word for "place," or anachorism, from Greek for "country." An eighth-grade history teacher from Denton, Texas, is teaching about colonial America, and wonders if there's a difference between the phrases to found a colony or establish a colony. The "Think and Grin" section of Boy's Life magazine has some pretty corny jokes, including one about a parking space. The word titch means "a small amount," and is most likely just a variant of touch. Quiz Guy John Chaneski offers a game that involves finding the synonym with the most syllables. For example, one synonym for the word dumb is vacuous. But can you think of another that has five syllables? A listener in San Antonio, Texas, has fond memories of chocolate gravy over biscuits, the word gravy in this sense having nothing to do with a meat-based sauce. Grant shares his mother's own recipe. Overview effect refers to the cognitive shift in awareness and sense of awe experienced by astronauts who observe Earth from space. The term also inspired the title of Benjamin Grant's new book, Overview: A New Perspective of Earth, a collection of spectacular images culled from satellite photographs. Where does the accent fall in the word Caribbean? Most English speakers stress the second syllable, not the third. The word derives from the name of the Carib Indians, also the source of the word cannibal. The Italian word ponte means "bridge," as in the Ponte Vecchio of Florence. Ponte now also denotes the Monday or Friday added to make for a long weekend. A sea change is a profound transformation, although some people erroneously use it to mean a slight shift, as when winds change direction on the surface of the ocean. In reality, the term refers to the kind of change effected on something submerged in salt water, as in Ariel's song from Shakespeare's The Tempest. It's book recommendation time! Grant recommends the Trenton Lee Stewart series for young readers, starting with The Mysterious Benedict Society. Martha praises Ronni Lundy's Victuals: An Appalachian Journey, with Recipes, a love letter to the cuisine, folkways, history, and language of Appalachia. A San Antonio, Texas, listener lives in a house built by his grandfather, who was from Finland. The house has a small window in an upper corner that supposedly was designed to ensure that evil spirits could escape from the house. He thinks it's called a grum hole. Ever heard of it? Why do we say I'm just joshing you? Was there a Josh who inspired this verb? A snot otter is a kind of salamander. The cat's pajamas, denoting something excellent, arose in the 1920's along with many similarly improbable phrases involving animals and their anatomy or possessions, including the gnat's elbow, the eel's ankles, and the elephant's instep. What do you call it when your dog or cat suddenly turns into a blur of fur, racing through the house? Trainers and behaviorists call those frenetic random activity periods or FRAPs. Other people just call them zoomies. This episode was hosted by Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett and produced by Stefanie Levine. -- A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donate Get your language question answered on the air!
