About this listen

Welcome to episode five of the Apprentice Dialogues!

In this episode, Ariel & Michelle take a crack (or a kick, or a hit, or a punch, or a stab…) at describing what linguistics is. Using their backgrounds in applied linguistics, as well as the examples of others who might have been linguists - such as Ariel’s very prescriptive mother - they get into the misconception between being multilingual and being a linguist, issues around second-language learning, and the very broad yet niche experience that is operating within applied linguistics. They also provide real-life examples of linguistics, talk about generational differences in language use, and have a few cat fights about what certain phrases mean.

Here just for an intro to linguistics and not the banter? Jump to 12:41!
