À propos de cet audio
In this episode, the Dead Language Ladies play a game of WORD you rather with Germanic and Romance descended words in English. Listen and play along as we discuss the merits and faults of words with similar semantics but different etymologies, such as gold vs. money, wrath vs. ire, and deadly vs. mortal. As we playfully and lovingly debate each pairing, you will learn about English's unique and fascinating linguistic composition and how both history and sound go hand in hand to express the imaginations and beliefs of a culture through words.
