Bonus #33 - Reading fiction like a linguist | Lingthusiasm on Patreon
Like many linguists, we have a difficult time turning the linguist part of our brains off – which makes reading fiction particularly fun! Sometimes we’re lucky enough that there’s fiction that features linguists or a dedicated constructed language, but even when that’s not the case, language is an interesting part of worldbuilding or narrative voice in a lot of books.
In this bonus episode of Lingthusiasm, Gretchen and Lauren share some of their favourite linguistically interesting fiction, including both classics like Ella Minnow Pea, Frindle, Clockwork Orange, and Cat’s Cradle, as well as newer books like The Fifth Season, The Raven Tower, Murderbot Diaries, and This Is How You Lose The Time War.
Warning: this episode may make you want to add some lingfic to your reading list!
