• Episode 9: Dr. Jan Svennevig, professor of Linguistics.

  Send us a textIn this episode I interview Dr. Jan Svennevig who is a professor of linguistics and a prolific researcher and publisher of numerous papers and articles on various aspects of communication. He has taught at the university of Oslo and  his current post is the University of Agder.  He has also been a guest lecturer at Stanford University. We talk about the nuances of communication, the cues that others give us as to their comprehension and receipt of information, as well as cultural aspects of language. We also discuss some of the research that has come out of his linguistics lab over the years. I believe that analyzing language in this way is not only helpful in communication but also because music follows similar language elements and structures, it helps us to  understand musical phrasingl, flow and emphasis.
