#055 - Jesse Gates: Linguistics, Cultural Understandings & the Stau Language

Today we talk with Jesse Gates, Post-Doc at Nankai University studying Linguistics. His work focuses on Trans-Himalayan languages, particularly Horpa languages such as Stau, looking at both static and evolutionary linguistics. In this episode we explore the complexities of linguistics, from phonetics & morphology to anthropological studies of social structures & language use. Jesse Gates underscores how a deep understanding of linguistics can serve as a systematic framework for language acquisition broadly and enhance one’s appreciation for the interconnectedness of language & society.   For more information, see our website here.    This presentation is a service of Discovering Academia, and all information presented is for commercial and informational purposes only.  Discovering Academia provides no assurances as to the accuracy or completeness of the information presented and possesses no actual knowledge of any topic presented.
