In this episode, we talk to our own professor Judith M. Maxwell of Tulane University about language diversity. Because the purpose of the podcast is to discuss the languages of the world, the first few episodes are intended to set the stage for a discussion of the world's languages. We talk very generally about how languages change and diversify themselves, giving a few examples of the processes that change language over time. We also discuss the effects of globalization on language diversity.
