The Hidden Forces Behind The Words We Use

  • Words like “rizz” and “unalive” may sound like internet throwaways, but they demonstrate how quickly social media is reshaping language. We’re joined by linguist Adam Aleksic who breaks down how slang spreads online, why emojis still matter and how algorithms are changing the way we communicate.

    • Guest: Adam Aleksic, linguist, author of Algospeak: How Social Media is Transforming the Future of Language

    Host: Marty Peterson

    Producer: Amirah Zaveri
