10: Learning languages linguistically
b'Some linguists work with multiple languages, while others focus on just one. But for many people, learning a language after early childhood is the thing that first gets them curious about how language works in general and all the things in their native language(s) that they take for granted. \\n\\nIn episode 10 of Lingthusiasm, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne talk about how learning languages can feed into linguistics and vice versa. We also explore the power dynamics that affect learning languages, and the importance of learning about the rules of interaction as well as the rules of grammar.\\n\\nThis month\\u2019s Patreon bonus was about hypercorrection, where you try so hard to follow a linguistic rule that you end up overshooting.
