The People’s Tongue with Emily Wilson
zhlédnutí 292Před 8 měsíci
Two translators walk into a bar… and they sing! Emily Wilson’s celebrated English-language translation of Homer’s The Odyssey (2018) recreates the music of the original epic, matching the number of lines of the iambic pentameter verse. Ilan Stavans’ translations of Pablo Neruda’s Odes (2006) are celebrated for reinventing the 20th-century Chilean poet’s rhythms. How do translators make a classi...
Language & Math

Did you know Moby-Dick is full of sophisticated geometry? That James Joyce’s stream-of-consciousness novels are deliberately checkered with mathematical references? That George Eliot was obsessed with statistics? That Jurassic Park is undergirded by fractal patterns? We often think of math and literature as existing in completely different worlds, but mathematics is a fundamental part of litera...
Word Nouveau: Fanilect
zhlédnutí 196Před rokem
“Highly Illogical.” “I’m the problem. It’s me.” “Winter is coming.” Do you speak a fanilect? You just might when you’re talking about your favorite celeb or TV show to your friends who love the same thing! Fandoms have a uniquely common language, or fanilect, that builds a sense of community within a group. Swifties communicate in Taylor Swift lyrics. Sports fans communicate in team cheers. Fan...
Language Seen: Speculative Characters
zhlédnutí 332Před rokem
Has ordinary text ever let you down? Maybe periods, question marks, and exclamation points just couldn't get your meaning across? Well, what if punctation could help you clearly share your affection, snark, anticipation, or disinterest in writing? What if, in lieu of relying on smiley-faces and eggplants to make our point, new punctuation could formally articulate meaning through gesture and ex...

Did your latest glass of wine contain notes of gooseberry, brioche, or wet river stone? How does the language we use to describe wine perpetuate its diversity problem?

The Enduring Appeal of The Great Gatsby with Maureen Corrigan
Writing helps a person's emotional distress more than talking.
This is fascinating work and meshes so well with what I knew, in patches. I am going to dig up the papers by Dr. Stanislas Dehaene. Thank you for sharing.
The brotherhood we need to see more of. Just beautiful. And thank you Jason Reynolds for giving Nikki Finney her props, she's worthy of being a household name just like Nikki Giovanni. Tony - your voice is so necessary. Peace to all involved.

Amazing interview......
I am excited to hear about all of the hard work she puts into being such a phenomenal narrator! 😃
I really enjoyed this video and truly believe we all need to be listening to Dr. Stanislas Dehaene and Dr. Mark Seidenberg when it comes to beginning reading instruction. I'm not sure if it's in this video or another one, where Dehaene talks about all words being able to read phonetically. I'm attaching a link to a video I've created of my daughter's journey becoming a proficient reader. The video is her journey reading phonetically-controlled books. She has not been given a single word to memorise. She reads all words phonetically by blending the sounds from left to right, even words that many people think cannot be read in this way. czcams.com/video/01NPoc7zAGM/video.html
Is this mainly for kids?
Planet Word is for visitors of all ages, but our content is geared towards people ages 10+.

Just found out about maureen, enjoying the video!
Everyday we encounter more evil, manipulative and controlling people....as a teacher and father, I fear for the unaware. A former student's husband just contacted me, infoming me she just got "sucked in" by scientology and left him.....maried only two years. She's in the blue building in LA now, all info controlled, etc etc. Looks like scientology is starting to crumble simply from truth escaping due to internet: She will rue the day she did this.
We are learning cult terminology to know what it is, …like… “thought terminating cliché” im now in the anti-cult “ cult”
Great interview. From both sides.
How are there no comments? This was great. Thank you.
Wonderful. The excitement and love, the connections between culture and poetry, between identify and poetry, these two "Ed Emcees" Jason Reynolds and Tony Keith, Jr., Ph.D., brings us these connections. Thank you for sharing, Planet Word.

I just discovered Sold a Story. It’s really eye opening. No wonder kids get to high school and don’t read well. Let alone comprehension! Poor kids. And they feel dumb. They don’t know it’s a systemic failure. Parents don’t have this information so they can’t advocate for their kids.
22:26 … My favorite (read: pet peeve) “thought terminating cliche” is “hater.” When I hear it I’m always stuck wondering why it’s said, who’s saying it and who they’re directing it toward. It always just felt like a coping mechanism or as a sort of excuse. The term “thought terminating cliche” I think sums it up nicely. Thank you for teaching me that.
Julia Whelan is so incredibly talented.
Maureen, I have read your book "So We Read On" , and comments by Matthew Bruccoli. These have been so helpful in adding enjoyment to reading Gatsby again, and again. I confess that I had never read this book until 1979, ten years after graduating high school. If it had been assigned, I am sure I would have paged through this and made my report from that, probably receiving a D or generous C grade. I happened to find this book at my mother's home and read the first couple of sentences. I took it home and continued reading a few pages after work each night until I came to the mention of Louisville, and Camp Taylor. These drew my interest because I live in Louisville and as a youngster played football at Camp Taylor park. After completing my reading of the novel I always felt closer to the book when passing Camp Taylor, which is completely different from Fitzgerald's time here. It has stayed in my thoughts since my first reading it 44 years ago. I have tried to interest my wife in the book but she only seemed drawn to Robert Redford's portraying Gatsby in the movie. My apologies for going on and on. I do want to thank you for your enthusiasm on Fitzgerald's genius. His writing, especially with this masterpiece which amazes me more and more.
I am a self educated linguist and am grateful to Mr ganesh for the information
a pan India uni varsity should be set up exclusively for linguistics
I feel ashamed that such a noble idea ñever came to me
Some òf these billionaires should underwrite the expenditure and see that Mr ganesh retires comfortably
It is a ĝreat feat and Mr ganesh should be given the noble prize
Thank you so much for this video! I was absolutely shocked to find out native speakers do have such troubles with reading. I’m an ESL teacher and kids in my county aren’t taught phonics instructions at school at all. How can we expect them to read or speak English without this essential step. That’s the question. Both the podcast and this video are vital and awesome❤ thank you!
Dear Sanaz, I appreciate your effort and glad to hear someone having the same idea which I shared a few years ago to UniteNation but no-one payed attention to me. I'm carrying a tragedy of my life from beginning till now to share with you. I look forward seeing response from you if you are interested to write about it, as well. Sincerely
I just learned about her winning of Pulitzer, which is SO FANTASTIC👏👏👏👏 Sanaz is so sweet and cognizant of her feelings and artistically sculptures them into words. As Iranians begin to learn more about her and what she has done, her plays will be sold out in many U.S. cities. I think this particular interview with her is so nice, when she had no idea how it will be recognized.
Thanks for sharing this interview! I really enjoyed the book and thought it was such a helpful way to think about some trends revealed in our modern society that at times feel unfathomable, as she cited. Awareness is the first step to compassion and empathy. I only wish her audio was a bit clearer! The author was very quiet relative to the interviewer.
Very interesting! (I'm a native speaker of American English, but I still had to look up a lot of the words & expressions that were shown in this presentation.)
maureen should read the book,writing gatsby by william hazelwood,aan excellent work about scott and zelda as well as the writing of the book.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I missed it live and am so glad to see and hear it now!
I am in the camp of April Berry who said "Iwill read any book she narrates. Also, I will be girly here Julia, you are a beauty! Could you share your skincare routine? And your makeup products?
Thanks for the interesting & informative presentation! (It would have been even better with some photos/slides of the birds that Mr. Moss mentioned.)
The irony at minute 3:45 with "the early 1990s" and a photo from at least 2009, altered when?
Wonderful program! I am a linguist educated in the United States and a retired IT professional.
I'm surprised that this program hides signers and doesn't even have captions. This makes it inaccessible to hard of hearing and deaf people like me. :-(
A good video about the quirks, idiosyncrasies, & irregularities of the English language!
“Educated” is the book that introduced me to Julia as Narrator. What an outstanding project- I have the audio and the hard copy. Well done, Julia.
This is fascinating. I’m delighted to know that there are Narrators who do so much preparation. You’re of the best. Recently a Narrator was SO ill equipped the story was ruined- just what I consider every day vocabulary…. Thank you for my signed book🌹 Scott Brick is also amazing!!!
I wounded would he have become the man he is today with going to prison , great come back young man .
Love Julia and this program, but Ms. Roberts, good heavens you need to fix your lighting! The reflection off your glasses is terrible.
Planet Word is Special. As a speech therapist, your Word Finding, Aphasia, and the Brain is so exceptional - consider making this video available to Speech and Language college programs for students of Speech Pathology!
I just visited Planet Word for the first time last weekend, and will go back many, many times. Kudos to all involved. And what an added treat to have this extra added attraction. Thank you!
The Earth is cooler with the atmos/GHGs/albedo not warmer. To perform as advertised the GHGs require “extra” energy upwelling from the surface radiating as a black body. (czcams.com/video/0Jijw7-YG-U/video.html) The kinetic heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmos molecules render that scenario impossible. No greenhouse effect, no GHG warming, no man/CO2 driven climate change or Gorebal warming.
Coming here for my birthday on June 17th, can't wait!
Too cool!! 😎
