In this podcast, I interview Giorgia Troiani , a researcher at UCSB. Join me to learn more about the path she took to becoming a linguistics scholar (hint: an interest in Sci Fi served as an early spark!) and how her journey took her to interesting places like Siberia.  Giorgia shares how grammatical forms emerge from the way people use language in everyday life and is impacted by both cognitive and social factors, and how language can be a powerful tool for fighting oppression. We'll also hear about how far the field of computational linguistics has come, and her work on a software to interpret language patterns.
