Episode 1.6: The Golden Nugget of Historical Linguistics

This week, the GradLings (especially Robbie) are very excited to be welcoming their fellow grad student Tommy, a French doctoral student researching the evolution of the negation marker in the French language. Tommy has been with the the department here at UA for...quite some time. In his time first in the Master's program and now on the verge of completing his dissertation, Tommy has accumulated a lot of wisdom and has been wonderful enough to share a bit of advice with us budding linguists. Of course, Justin and Boden manage to sneak in some pedagogy shop talk with Tommy.
