45: Mailbag of Words - a podcast by Daniel Midgley, Ben Ainslie, and Hedvig Skirgård

The Words of the Year are out! And we’re talking about ’em.

We’re answering all the questions in our voluminous Mailbag.

• We have here, there, and where. We also have that and what. Was there ever a hat?
  Why are we friends with someone?
  Is the distribution of emoji Zipfian?
  If you study linguistics — the science of language — are you a STEM major?

And Hedvig springs a game on us.

Further episodes of Because Language - a podcast about linguistics, the science of language.
