hello.I'm Adam Aleksic, a linguist and influencer currently living in Manhattan. You probably know me for creating educational videos as the "Etymology Nerd" to a following of over three million across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Or you know me from my book Algospeak: How Social Media is Transforming the Future of Language. Or you don't know me.
I have a linguistics degree from Harvard College, where I served as president of the Harvard Undergraduate Linguistics Society. I've lectured on language and social media at over a dozen colleges, and I am a frequent guest on NBC and NPR. I am currently studying how technology affects vibes—our emotional, aesthetic appraisals of reality. |
