ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts, zombies, imposters, and frankenstein have something in common: they're all possessed by the spirit of linguistics!
In this silly spooky episode, your hosts Lauren Gawne and Gretchen McCulloch get enthusiastic about various kinds of linguistic monsters. We talk about how vampires would make the best historical linguists, the ghosts of borrowed words and old grammar haunting our modern vocabulary, why Your Honour can enjoy dressing up as a grammatical imposter, the common origins of witch and wizard, and more hauntings from the thrilling world of monster linguistics.
