I talked to James McElvenny about linguistics, politics and ideology on the Hiphilangsci (@[email protected]) podcast. Thanks to James for having me on. The podcast is a big contribution to the discipline and to public understanding of linguistics, which James deserves a lot of gratitude for.

Fascinating Hiphilangsci (@[email protected]) interview with Nick Riemer: 'linguistics ... has been a ... sort of isolationist discipline, and I think that ... performs an ideological function in itself, actually.' hiphilangsci.net/2024/06/01/pod…

A new month is upon us and with it also a new episode of our podcast.

This time, James McElvenny (Universität Siegen) interviews Nick Riemer (@NickRiemer1) about the interactions between linguistic theory and political ideology - have a listen!
