Because Language - a podcast about linguistics, the science of language.

127: Oh (with Maia Chao, Kelly Wright, and Caitlin Green)


Listen Later

The "Oh" show was an experimental linguistics performance lecture. It happened in June 2025 at Creative Time HQ in New York City. Actors, musicians, and audience came together (with at least one linguist!) to act out dialogues from conversational analysis, and have fun with language. Are there more ways we can perform linguistics? We're talking with artist and linguistics fan Maia Chao.
