3- In the beginning... there was the Word - a podcast about loving, learning and making wor(l)ds up
Words are god-like elements that establish the reality all around us.
Join me in this episode to know about:
- When a word has 2 meaning but we only know 1 of them.
- The joy of making words up.
- There's no such thing as unreal words, only unpopular ones.
- Why linguists don't study words.
