We will be watching and discussing a YouTube audio interview with linguist and science communicator Gretchen McCulloch. She discusses her recent book about the linguistics of the internet, in which she describes what is new and not-so-new about the language we use online and the ways we perceive it. The topic and YouTube clip will be introduced by Lola Bradford, who studies linguistics and is a regular Toronto Oasis participant.
