What’s Inside: A woman takes a whole rotisserie chicken through airport security—and it’s totally allowed Her viral moment has the internet talking (and laughing) A new study finds Southern accents are disappearing among younger generations Linguists explain what’s causing the shift—and why it matters Episode Description:A woman has gone viral after casually bringing a full rotisserie chicken through airport security. The internet exploded with reactions to her TikTok, but the real surprise? TSA says it’s completely fine. According to People, the cooked bird passed inspection without issue, sparking an online debate about what you can and can’t fly with—and what’s just plain weird to carry through an airport. Meanwhile, AP News reports that the iconic Southern accent is slowly fading among younger people in states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Louisiana. A new study shows that generational and cultural changes are shifting how people speak, especially as cities grow and populations diversify. Linguists say the "Southern drawl" is being replaced by more neutral or blended accents, and it’s not just about language—it’s about identity and the evolution of regional culture.

Linguists at Work! This is a special mini-podcast of the Linguistics Careercast called Linguists at Work. It's a series of 5-minute interviews with career linguists, conducted by grad students in the Georgetown Linguistics program, in which they ask the question: “What’s your job and how did you get it?” Every interview focuses on a job that a linguist not only can do, but adds value to based on the unique skillset we develop as language scientists. Today’s pod features Lexi Slome, who is an associate trial consultant. She earned her Ph.D. in Linguistics from Georgetown University in 2024, where she focused on discourse analysis of courtroom language, including research examining the role of identity construction in telling persuasive opening statement narratives. In her current role as a trial consultant, she uses both her linguistic knowledge and research skills to provide data-driven analysis of juror reactions to complex legal cases through research exercises such as mock trials and focus groups. The interview is conducted by Joana Fehr, a graduate student from Germany in the MLC program at Georgetown University. She has lived and studied in seven countries across Europe, North America, and South America, and brings a global perspective to her work.

Measuring your talk time? Counting your filler words? What about "analyzing" your "emotions"? Companies that push LLM technology to surveil and summarize video meetings are increasingly offering to (purportedly) analyze your participation and assign your speech some metrics, all in the name of "productivity". Sociolinguist Nicole Holliday joins Alex and Emily to take apart claims about these "AI" meeting feedback tools, and reveal them to be just sparkling bossware, with little insight into how we talk.Nicole Holliday is Acting Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of California-Berkeley.Quick note: Our guest for this episode had some sound equipment issues, which unfortunately affected her audio quality.Main course:Read AI Review: This AI Reads Emotions During Video CallsMarketing video for Read AIZoom rebrands existing and introduces new generative AI featuresMarketing video for Zoom Revenue AcceleratorSpeech analysis startup releases AI tool that simulates difficult job interview conversationFresh AI Hell:Amazon Echo will send all recordings to Amazon beginning March 28Trump's NIST no longer concerned with “safety” or “fairness”Reporter Kevin Roose is feeling the bullshitUW's eScience institute pushing “AI” for information accessOpenAI whines about data being too expensive, with a side of SinophobiaCheck out future streams at on Twitch, Meanwhile, send us any AI Hell you see.Our book, 'The AI Con,' comes out in May!

Riccardo Moratto"Isolati"Xiao BaiOrientalia Editricewww.orientalia-editrice.comTraduzione dal cinese di Riccardo MorattoIn un edificio del Distretto ovest di Shanghai, il signor Ding, noto collaborazionista delle forze di occupazione giapponesi, rimane ucciso in un attentato dinamitardo. Sembrerebbe un caso irrisolvibile, ma a condurre le indagini c'è il Maggiore Hayashi, un ufficiale della Kempeitai determinato a trovare l'assassino, anche a costo di isolare l'intero edificio e di sottoporre i sospettati a privazioni e interrogatori sempre più duri. Sullo sfondo della Shanghai degli anni Trenta, Xiao Bai costruisce un noir ricco di colpi di scena in cui tutto è in divenire e nulla è come sembra, e racconta i giorni dell'isolamento facendo muovere i personaggi in uno spazio chiuso che assume la forma di un palcoscenico."Isolati (Orientalia, 2024, 184 pagine), il nuovo romanzo breve di Xiao Bai 小白, tradotto da Riccardo Moratto con la sua solita precisione e attenzione ai dettagli, è un susseguirsi di sorprese.

I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text hereMuch of what the Nisei linguists did during World War II remained classified for decades after the war.

How does an investigation of language science change one's approach to language learning? What is the classical language learning model, and how did it develop? What strategies work (and not so much) to learn a new language? All these questions and more on today's show, hosted by phoneticist Mackenzie Gentz. — Show Notes: relevanceofliterature.com/notes/ — Music by Leo Discenza Our Show: relevanceofliterature.com Our old (and yes, still functioning) blog: didionandhawthorne.blubrry.net

Recognizing the importance of trained and competent linguists, during World War II, the US Army's Military Intelligence Service trained foreign language speakers to help with the war effort. Many were Japanese speakers and most of those were Nisei. These Nisei were the only Japanese Americans to fight in the Pacific, and according to Douglas MacArthur's chief intelligence officer, their service was so valuable that it shortened the war by at least two years.The Ghosts of the Pacific Theme is Ukulele and Love Birds by emjaydabayou, with a few Waves of Hawaii added for ambiance.The Ghosts of the Pacific Transition music are some Uke Chords by turkitron.As always, a very special thanks to Mountain Up Cap Company for its continued help to spread the word about the podcast on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MountainUpCapCompany Climb to Glory!For more information about the podcast visit: ·       The GoA website: https://www.ghostsofarlingtonpodcast.com    ·       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ghostsofarlingtonpodcast·       Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArlingtonGhosts·       Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ghostsofarlington/

DAY 345 CHALLENGE “God doesn't want us to have religion; he just wants us to have a relationship with him.” DEFENSE This is not the biblical way of thinking. Linguists are familiar with a phenomenon that occurs when a new way of talking about a subject is introduced. At first, it may be perceived as innovative and attention-getting. If it becomes popular, however, it loses these connotations and becomes a standard mode of expression. Eventually, it may become so rote that it loses its rhetorical punch and people start looking for a new, more arresting way to express the idea. We see …

Linguists are often interested in comparing several languages or dialects. To make this easier, it's useful to have data that's relatively similar across varieties, so that the differences really pop out. But what exactly needs to be similar or different varies depending on what we're investigating. For example, to compare varieties of English, we might have everyone read the same passage that contains all of the sounds of English, whereas to compare the way people gesture when telling a story, we might have them all watch the same silent film and re-tell it back. In this episode, your hosts Lauren Gawne and Gretchen McCulloch get enthusiastic about linguistics examples that have been re-used in lots of studies to get large groups of people to produce comparable language data. These sentences are supposed to be pretty unremarkable so we can focus on doing linguistics on them, but they end up having a sort of charmingly banal vibe that makes them much beloved by people who have spent tons of time poring over recorded files. We talk about The North Wind and the Sun, the Stella passage, the Rainbow passage, the Harvard Sentences, the Frog story, the Pear story, and the Tweety Bird video. We also talk about what goes into creating different genres of reusable example sentences, from phonetic balancing to what makes a concept culturally specific, as well as our experience learning about and coming up with various examples.

Dennis Baron joins the conversation to discuss his forthcoming book ""You can't always say what you want: The paradox of free speech" (Cambridge Univ Press, 2022)" and the state of free speech in today's America. We get into conversation about all things free speech from government interference with social media companies to the impact of a changing understanding of the second amendment and its impact on the ability of groups and individuals to make their voices heard without threat of violence.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 12, 2023 is: luscious • LUSH-us • adjective Luscious most often describes something that has a delicious taste or smell, but it can also mean “richly luxurious or appealing to the senses,” “excessively ornate,” or “sexually attractive.” // Their famous chocolate cake is served with a luscious peppermint whipped cream topping. // Her deep, luscious alto made her the perfect choice to play the part of Sally Bowles, chanteuse of the Kit Kat Club in Cabaret. // The author's vivid, luscious prose won't win over Carver or Hemingway die-hards, but fans of lovingly rendered (if a bit florid) description will eat it up. See the entry > Examples: “There are countless avenues to flavoring a pot of beans; this one, with the addition of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and a bit of tomato paste, will lead the beans to a slightly spicy, slightly smoky place rendering them hearty and flavorful enough to be the star of the plate. ... Drizzling in a little additional olive oil to the vegetable stock will give you a very luscious, delicious pot liquor, or broth.” — Andrea Aliseda, Whetstone Magazine, 16 May 2022 Did you know? Have you ever heard a young child describe a favorite food as “licius” instead of “delicious”? Back in the Middle Ages, the word licius was sometimes used as a shortened form of delicious by adults and kids alike. Linguists believe that luscious may have developed when licius (which comes from the Latin verb delicere, meaning “to entice by charm or attraction”) was further altered to lucius by 15th-century speakers. The adjective lush can sometimes mean “delicious” as well but is not a shortened form of luscious, having developed on its own from the Middle English lusch, meaning “soft or tender.”

Have you ever wondered why word meanings change over time? Or why do people say words differently based on where they live? This is called Linguistic Evolution and we dive into this on Leap of Fate pod 93 with Valerie Fridland, who has a Ph.D. in Linguistics and teaches at the University of Nevada Reno.Linguistics is the scientific study of language.  Linguists (experts in linguistics) work on specific languages, but their primary goal is to understand the nature of language in general and how they are related or have changed over time. The main goal of linguistics, like all other intellectual disciplines, is to increase our knowledge and understanding of the world. Valerie educates Leap of Fate this week through how words change over time. Our engaging conversation ranges from her research studying words to understanding how words such as "woke", "redskin", "cap, and no cap" and more have come to be and changed over time.Use this podcast to learn how words evolve over time as it's important to be cognizant of the words you choose to say.  There may be hidden or historical meaning you aren't aware of that can create distress for others.

Philosophers & Linguists have always known that our words carry an immense amount of power, especially when we speak them over ourselves. Let's replace the phrase "I can't" with the phrase, "I am capable, and will learn." We all carry to some degree, the feeling of not being good enough or not having the skillsets to do what we desire for ourselves. With the connection of Truth, we discover that the answers to our issues and the solutions to our worldly problems lie within us at the core of our identities. We have the power to achieve anything and solve any conflict with immense intelligence.
