How the internet is making English better
Have you ever wondered who's responsible for the fact there’s no jellyfish emoji? Why does ending a text with a period make people think you're mad at them? Why doesn't "lol" mean "laughing out loud" anymore?
Lingthusiasm is a podcast that is enthusiastic about linguistics. In this brand new Lingthusiasm liveshow, linguists Lauren Gawne and Gretchen McCulloch get enthusiastic about the ways in which the internet is breathing new life into the English language. Come along to this lively, humorous conversation about how we communicate (and miscommunicate) with each other these days. You'll never look at your quickly dashed-off text messages the same way again.
All profits made by Lingthusiasm for this event will be donated to the Resource Network for Lingusitic Diversity.
How the internet is making English better - Lingthusiasm Liveshow is supported by the State Library Victoria in Melbourne.
Comments
Tickets are for patrons who live in the area and can make it to the show. The paid ticketing is part of our agreement with the venues - but we've ensured there are concession options at both shows, and we've kept the prices as low as we can!
