Show notes for Episode 57

Here are the show notes for Episode 57, in which Lisa, Jacky and Dan talk about some recent Lang in the News, including:

  • Apostrophes and why their disappearance has signalled the end of civilisation

  • Johanna Gerwin’s new paper on how MLE and ‘Jafaican’ have been ‘enregistered’ in the UK press

  • Some articles about MLE

  • A really good student answer to a question on MLE (thanks, Abi 😁 )

And then straight after that, Raj and Dan talk to the actual Dr Johanna Gerwin about her paper and about the ways the media discourses around MLE have developed since it was dubbed ‘Jafaikan’ back in the day…
