Episode 28: Languages
Manage episode 291463090 series 2836627
Although we are extremely diverse in the scale of our various languages, as a species we all manage to communicate with one another. It is a complex business, no question, for all languages are awash with a multitude of minute inflections, varying accents and regional dialects. Indeed, things can be confusing even when two folks are speaking in the same tongue; as the quotation widely attributed to George Bernard Shaw has it: “England and America, two countries separated by a common language!” And, as we sit back with our two talkative hosts to delve into this week's fascinating topic, you might be enjoying a cool soda... or is that a bottle of pop? Perhaps you're snacking on a bag of chips... or are those crisps? In all events, let's do our best to find common ground as Kevin and Steve attempt to convey their often not-so-complicated ideas with us, and we patiently attempt to translate their words into cohesive thoughts.
