John McWhorter: Why most humans talk in two or more ways
February 28 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Free
Join linguist John McWhorter from Columbia University for a talk and Q&A on why humans speak in multiple ways. The talk will explore how people worldwide switch dialects, languages, and vocabularies depending on the situation, challenging the assumption that we speak consistently and offering a new perspective on “code-switching.”
This event is intended for non-specialists and is free and open to the public. The event will be at the Hoff Theatre in the Adele H. Stamp Student Union at the University of Maryland, College Park. This talk is co-sponsored by the Maryland Language Science Center and the Baha’i Chair for World Peace.
