Linguistic determinism, what a concept. Amelia helps Rach and Tess wrap their heads around what meaning our words have in relation to our world. No light topics around here.
This week on Word Salad we're talking about Homophonic Translation, Anguish Languish, and Phono-Semantic Matching. Don't know what these are? Neither do we, but lucky for us, Amelia's here to tell us all about it.
Ooohh err Duckie! Today we're talking about 'Polari' on 'Word Salad', the almost-lost language spoken by gay men in the UK before homosexual law reform in the 1960s. Tune in to find out more!
You know when one word has two meanings and those two meanings oppose each other? Did you know there's a word for that? Amelia's talking contronym's, aka the Janus word or an auto-antonym.
