Is the language in comics particularly simple? Which words from Star Wars have already become part of everyday language? And does the German afternoon last as long as the English afternoon? The new podcast “Linguistics Behind the Scenes” answers these questions and many more in an entertaining and accessible way.

Join German professor of English and Digital Linguistics Christina Sanchez-Stockhammer and American language enthusiast Dominic Piazza as they chat about all the many fun and interesting aspects of language and share the untold stories behind linguistic publications.

The content is presented in a way that is accessible for general audiences, and full transcripts of the dialogues are available on the podcast website (https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/phil/english/sections/edling/sciencecommunication/podcast.php).
