In questo episodio esploriamo il complesso tema dell'hate speech: ne delimiteremo il concetto, vedremo come questo si manifesta e approfondiremo le sue forme implicite, spesso difficili da riconoscere. A offrirci questa riflessione è Mattia Retta, dottorando in linguistica presso l'Università di Helsinki, che condividerà i punti più importanti e interessanti delle sue ricerche accademiche e la sua conoscenza approfondita della materia, dandoci l’occasione per comprendere meglio i meccanismi del linguaggio d'odio e il suo impatto nella società contemporanea.

In questa puntata diamo uno sguardo a diversi esperimenti condotti per insegnare ai primati forme di linguaggio umano.
Dalla lingua dei segni ai simboli grafici, esploriamo i casi più famosi e controversi, analizzando successi e limiti che hanno acceso un vivace dibattito scientifico e culturale: è davvero possibile che le scimmie apprendano la facoltà del linguaggio?
Attraverso storie affascinanti e questioni aperte, cerchiamo di capire se queste capacità comunicative rappresentino un passo avanti nella comprensione del linguaggio o se confermino invece l’unicità della nostra specie.

In questa puntata, esploriamo come le metafore non siano solo un elemento della lingua letteraria, ma abbiano un ruolo fondamentale nella nostra comprensione del mondo. A partire dal libro Metaphors We Live By di G. Lakoff e M. Johnson, analizziamo il potere delle metafore e come la linguistica cognitiva consideri il linguaggio parte dei processi mentali e corporei. Grazie agli esempi di metafore quotidiane, gli autori mostrano come la mente usi metafore concettuali per dare senso a concetti complessi, rivelando il legame profondo tra linguaggio ed esperienza fisica.

Nella puntata di oggi esploriamo la balbuzie dal punto di vista linguistico, andando oltre la definizione comune di 'disturbo della pronuncia', per capire se riguarda solo la difficoltà di pronunciare suoni o se nasconde qualcosa di più complesso.
Analizzeremo cause, manifestazioni e impatto emotivo, riflettendo su come le ricerche attuali stiano rivelando aspetti nuovi e sorprendenti, anche nelle lingue dei segni, e sulle condizioni in cui la balbuzie può ridursi o scomparire.

In questa puntata parliamo di astrolinguistica, anche nota come esolinguistica o xenolinguistica, ovvero la branca della linguistica dedicata allo studio di lingue ipotetiche non umane, o esolingue, cioè lingue che potrebbero essere parlate dagli alieni.
Vediamo alcune delle modalità possibili di comunicazione aliena, e esploriamo la struttura delle lingue umane, chiedendoci cosa potrebbe essere universale nelle lingue in generale e se ciò potrebbe applicarsi a lingue aliene, e cosa questo implica per la nostra comprensione del linguaggio e della comunicazione.

In questo episodio, esploriamo la diversità etnolinguistica nei paesi dell'ex Unione Sovietica, con un focus particolare sulla Federazione Russa. La Russia è un mosaico di gruppi etnolinguistici, e nel corso della sua storia ha gestito questa diversità in modi differenti, influenzati dalle contingenze storiche e dai periodi specifici. In questa intervista, Gianluca Pardelli, fotogiornalista e fondatore di Soviet Tours, ci offre una panoramica approfondita sulla storia etnolinguistica della Russia.

Esploriamo il mondo dei criptoletti, ovvero lingue segrete create per nascondere informazioni e rafforzare legami sociali, conosciute anche come argot, antilingue, lingue furbesche, slang o gerghi. In questa puntata viaggiamo attraverso diversi paesi scoprendo come e perché queste lingue si sviluppano e vediamo le loro caratteristiche comuni, evidenziando la creatività dei parlanti e riflettendo sul loro ruolo come strumenti di identità e resistenza.

In questo episodio esploriamo il processo complesso e multifattoriale della scomparsa di una lingua, che avviene sempre in un contesto di contatto linguistico, osservando le cause principali che nella storia hanno portato alle estinzioni linguistiche, come la diglossia e le politiche repressive.
Cercheremo insieme anche di capire come possiamo preservare la diversità linguistica, sottolineando come l'inclusività e la cooperazione tra comunità linguistiche siano essenziali per mantenere vive le lingue minacciate e promuovere una maggiore apertura culturale.

In questa puntata vediamo il processo di apprendimento linguistico e le teorie che lo circondano. Parliamo di interlingua, un concetto chiave nello studio dell'acquisizione, e di emisferi cerebrali e di come poter utilizzare tutto il nostro cervello per imparare una lingua, anche grazie alla ludolinguistica, una disciplina che si occupa di utilizzare giochi e attività ludiche per facilitare l'apprendimento linguistico.

Questo episodio esplora l'ipotesi di Sapir-Whorf e la relatività linguistica, concentrandosi sul modo in cui le lingue possono influenzare la nostra percezione e comprensione del mondo. Oggi parliamo della storia del legame tra lingua e pensiero, esaminando come la struttura linguistica possa plasmare la nostra cognizione e la nostra relazione con la realtà circostante, e vediamo sopratutto cosa ci dicono i dati sperimentali.

Questo episodio esplora le lingue in modalità visivo-gestuale, smontando alcune credenze diffuse che potrebbero portarci a fraintendere la vera natura delle lingue segnate. Durante la puntata, esamineremo da vicino alcune caratteristiche generali e alcune peculiari della LIS, la lingua dei segni italiana, al fine di evidenziare che le lingue dei segni hanno strutture proprie, completamente diverse dalle lingue parlate. È fondamentale comprendere, infatti, che le lingue dei segni sono sistemi linguistici autonomi, che pur nella loro unicità condividono comunque affascinanti fenomeni evolutivi con tutte le altre lingue del mondo, indipendentemente dalla loro modalità.

Qui esploriamo il generativismo, la teoria sviluppata da Noam Chomsky negli anni '50 che ha rivoluzionato la nostra comprensione del linguaggio. Affronteremo insieme questioni come la natura innata della lingua, affrontando la smentita del comportamentismo linguistico e introducendo concetti come "grammatica universale" e "competenza". Attraverso aneddoti e spiegazioni, esploriamo la storia, l'evoluzione e le critiche del generativismo, mettendo in luce come questa teoria continui a influenzare la linguistica moderna.

Formalismo e funzionalismo, pensiero ed esternalizzazione, lingua e comunicazione. Che casino! Oggi proviamo a vedere che serve un po’ di ordine se vogliamo quantomeno isolare i concetti. E nonostante lingua e comunicazione a volte siano usate come sinonimi, non sono assolutamente la stessa cosa.

Per imporre una lingua, e conseguentemente una cultura, una politica, etc. non serve necessariamente bandire le lingue preesistenti, si può giocare su quello che definiamo qui 'imperialismo linguistico', con piccoli ostacoli e scelte che indeboliscono la lingua autoctona in favore della lingua colonizzatrice.

Come si costruiscono delle lingue artificiali (conlangs) a fini artistici? In questo episodio vediamo alcune scelte molto diverse da loro, parlando di autori che hanno creato degli interi mondi linguistici al puro scopo di affascinare e intrattenere i fruitori dei prodotti artistici di cui queste lingue fanno parte.

Questo episodio descrive i campi di azione della linguistica forense, una particolare branca della linguistica applicata. Vediamo la differenza tra grafologia e linguistica forensi, i suoi campi di azione e qualche storia che ci ha fatto capire come la linguistica potesse essere uno strumento particolarmente adatto per le indagini.

Questo episodio descrive il runglish, una lingua embrionale data dal mischiarsi di russo ed inglese. In particolare vedremo il suo uso nella Stazione spaziale internazionale e se non stiamo assistendo alle fasi primordiali di un "creolo spaziale"!
Per ogni mia piccola conoscenza spaziale si ringrazia Adrian Fartade e il suo canale YouTube Link4Universe, in particolar modo per questa puntata la live su Twitch e caricata su Youtube "20 anni di Stazione Spaziale Internazionale: Storia, presente e futuro della ISS"

Questo episodio affronta il concetto fuorviante di lingue facili e difficili analizzando il fenomeno super affascinante delle lingue creole. Non esiste infatti un solo creolo, ma molti creoli diversi basati su lingue diversissime tra loro. Eppure tutte le lingue creole hanno tratti comuni, per il semplice fatto che vengono sviluppate dal cervello umano.

Questo episodio affronta il ruolo della vista sulla percezione della lingua, e in particolar modo spiega alcuni effetti che il covid-19 e l’inclusione delle mascherine nella nostra società ha provocato sulle categorie più sensibili all’uso della capacità sensoriale nell’interazione linguistica, ovvero ipoudenti e persone che non hanno come lingua madre la lingua usata negli scambi linguistici con mascherina.
