LanGoPod Episode 5: Set your phrases to stun
In this episode fo LanGoPod, we investigate the phrase as a syntactic unit. We start off by attempting to define the word and then introduce the notion of word class. Phrases are labeled for the word class of the head of the phrase. For example, a noun is the head of a noun phrase. We can identify phrases through constituency tests, and in this episode, we employ one coined by Haj Ross as OCM (“Only Chunks Move”). For our “Comparatively Speaking” section, we examine plural suffix allomorphy in English, nouns and verbs in Portuguese, and discuss the notion of "adjectives" in Korean and Chinese.

LanGoPod Episode 4: Mighty Morpheme Word-Arrangers
In this episode of LanGoPod, we discuss the notion of the morpheme and how it can be very useful for language learners! What even is a morpheme? A morpheme is the most fundamental unit with meaning in a language. We discuss, with examples from English: - how to measure morphemes and transparent-to-opaque compounds - the notion of free versus bound morphemes, affixes, and allomorphy - some types of morphological processes - phonesthemes and cran morphs. This episode's mini-lessons focuses applying the notion of the morpheme to learning about Roviana infixes, the formation of the English plural and allomorphy in Japanese verbs. We conclude the podcast with a challenge (what're your favorite "Widowords"/lost positives?), an exciting game of Frigatebird, and a timely selection of pundemic jokes and new words for these quarentimes.

LanGoPod Episode 3: What even is a syllable?
In our third episode of LanGoPod, we discuss the notion of the syllable and how it can be extremely useful for language learners! A syllable is a rhythmic unit of human language. We discuss the parts of the syllable and how there are often restrictions on what sound segments can occur in which part. After a cross-language survey of "legal" syllable shapes, we provide some cross-linguistic applications: a look at onset restrictions in Portuguese, syllable structure in Korean, and a different rhythmic system using morae in Japanese. We conclude the podcast with a challenge (what's the biggest syllable you can make?), a hilarious Sasak joke, and more favorites from our second book of Konglish puns!
