Les mer The Age of Humans

There are some aspects of our everyday lives that are so deeply woven into the fabric of our society, that we rarely get to think about their origin, question their future or consider their implications. Does clothing fashion have a clear direction of development throughout history? What music will dominate charts in 2050? Will we all ultimately speak one language? But let's not rush ahead of ourselves. Let's take it apart together, one question at a time, within The Age of Humans.

episode S1E6: What is the Best Language? cover

S1E6: What is the Best Language?

What is the best language? As one of our guests noted, this is a dangerous question to ask. But we went on and did it anyway. Of course, not without context. So what is the best language… to learn if you are a monolingual aspiring businessman? What about a politician? Which ones would help you learn all the following with ease? Which language just sounds right? These scenarios are just the tip of the iceberg in what the last episode of our first season is. Today, together with all five of our guests, we attempt to give you a solid ground upon which you could base your own thinking, when answering the question "Which language next?" Get ready for a special episode, like none other, filled with surprises! For more details about our guests, check out the description of previous episodes, where you can also find extra information and useful links regarding their work.

episode S1E5: Language Death & Revival (Liudas) cover

S1E5: Language Death & Revival (Liudas)

The language map of the World, although sometimes looking static, is very fluid. Languages mix and override one another constantly and in this episode we talk about the soldiers that have fallen in this battle - the dead languages. But what does it really mean for a language to be... dead? Is this bad? Is it worth reviving languages? And how does one go about this revival? Tune in to learn all about that for a discussion with our guest Gregory Anderson. Check the up-and-running Living Dictionaries app [https://livingdictionaries.app/], where anyone can create your own language resources. If you have someone you know who speaks an endangered language - let them know about this!

episode S1E3: Lingua Francas (Liudas) cover

S1E3: Lingua Francas (Liudas)

A Russian, an Italian and a Brit walk into a bar. What language do they speak? What language would they have spoken 500 years ago? What language are they most likely to speak in 2070? Lingua franca is where languages meet politics and power relations. In this episode, together with our guest Tomasz Kamusella, we will take a look into the history and the possible futures of the global landscape of lingua francas - the languages that allow us to function as a global society. For those of you interested in these topics, you are kindly invited to read Tom's articles [https://neweasterneurope.eu/post-author/tomasz-kamusella/].

S1E2: Intercultural Communication (Stefan)

For our second episode, we prepared a cultural cocktail. We added a bit of sweet, a bit of sour at times, but most of it it's quite spicy. This is a cultural trip around the world, and, we hope, a guide to understand people and cultures better. Tom Verghese is our guest today and he will share with us meaningful insight from his over 25 years of experience working across cultures.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
