#014-Master of Linguistics

The Cearley Cultivation

This episode was years in the making. Shannon has been in graduate school at Texas Tech for the last 5 years, and she is now officially finished. She has been an inspiration to me through this process, and I couldn’t be more proud. For this episode, we really just wanted to talk about her experience in school and explore the world of linguistics. Shannon nerds out about topics such as linguistic hegemony, the wug test, and optimality theory. Consider this a toe dip into the vast ocean of Linguistics. We’re sure there will be more in-depth episodes over these topics in the future, but for now, consider this a teaser.
