About Linguistics After Dark
Linguistics After Dark is a podcast where three linguists (and sometimes other people) answer your burning questions about language, linguistics, and whatever else you need advice about. We have three rules: any question is fair game, there's no research allowed, and if we can't answer, we have to drink. It's a little like CarTalk for language: call us if your language is making a funny noise, and we'll get to the bottom of it, with a lot of rowdy discussion and nerdy jokes along the way. At the beginning of the show, we introduce a new linguistics term, and there's even a puzzler at the end!

Raise your hand if the monkey has the binoculars. It's ambiguous. But this is the majority. That's what your first thought was. Okay, the problem is grammatically, logically, the man saw the man, sorry, the man saw the monkey using his binoculars to Grammatically, the phrase using his binoculars in English could equally well apply to the monkey or the man.
