Linguistics Behind the Scenes

What's it about?

This podcast is for anyone who finds language exciting—or even loves it.

Why do we speak or write the way we do? What counts as common, "correct," or "incorrect" usage—and how do we even figure that out?

In Linguistics Behind the Scenes, linguist Prof. Dr. Christina Sanchez-Stockhammer (Chair) and language enthusiast Dominic Piazza (LinkedIn) take their audience behind the scenes of linguistic research. In entertaining conversations, they explore the many interesting, surprising, and often funny facets of language.

The podcast aims to bring linguistics closer to a broad audience in a relaxed and entertaining way. Whether it's pop culture, history, chatbots, or social conventions—anything can become a topic. Often, one of Christina's current research questions is at the center, around which a colorful mix of facts, personal anecdotes, and fascinating insights unfolds.

A podcast for anyone who doesn't just want to use language, but also understand it.
