  • Mapping the American Tongue: The Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE), with Joan Houston Hall

    Mapping the American Tongue: The Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE), with Joan Houston Hall
    Mar 5 2026

    1165. Today, we talk with Joan Houston Hall to look at the monumental task of documenting how Americans speak. We look at the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE), exploring the unique folk words that survive outside of standard dictionaries and how "word wagons" traveled the country to map the "egg turners," "pogonips," and "oncers" that define our regional identities.

  • How 'be like' took over the world, with Sali Tagliamonte

    How 'be like' took over the world, with Sali Tagliamonte
    Feb 26 2026

    1163. This week, we look at what it’s like to be a "language detective" with Sali Tagliamonte and how she used her own teenagers as a research lab. We look at a 25-year study on how the phrase "be like" became a permanent fixture of English, why the word "very" is suddenly making a comeback with younger generations, and what happens to our language when we spend all day talking to AI.
