This month’s episode of Otherwords, a PBS web series hosted by Erica Brozovsky, sociolinguist and assistant teaching professor of writing and rhetoric in the Department of Humanities & Arts, has been released. The series explores language, the unique history and stories behind words, sounds, and linguistics.
The new episode focuses on how languages die. Like species, languages can go extinct. However, there are different stages of language death, and some can be reversed.
