Lingthusiasm Liveshow - Montreal, September 23rd 

We’re excited to announce that we’re having a Lingthusiasm liveshow! 

We haven’t forgotten about the liveshow goal on Patreon, but since Lauren happened to have a conference bringing her to Montreal, where Gretchen lives, we decided we couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to put on a show. Think of it as a practice run for the big version! 

So, like, what’s up with, um, discourse particles, y'know? These seemingly meaningless words can tell us a lot about how language works.

Join Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne for a real-life version of the linguistics podcast listeners call “the right balance between rigour and accessibility… It feels like I’m listening in on a conversation between two of my most interesting friends.” Plus a Q&A for all your burning questions on internet linguistics, linguistics in the public sphere, Australian English, and more.

Free event in Argo Bookshop, Montreal’s oldest English-language bookstore, which happens to have an excellent linguistics section! Snacks by donation. Doors at 8pm, show starts at 8:30. 

Get your free tickets via Eventbrite! 

(If you like Facebook, you can also join/share the Facebook event here.)

We hope you can attend! But we also know that we have listeners from all over the world, so we’re taking questions for the Q&A portion from everyone who supports us on Patreon. If you’re a patron who can make it to the show, we’ll even save you a seat up front! 

We’ll also be recording the show with the help of our friends at The Ling Space so stay tuned wherever you are!
