Dialexicon: experiments in language and listening
by Jaya Karsemeyer Bone
Dialexicon is a short but profound interview you can do with anyone you know, or with a stranger. At the core is care. The method has two questions: the first broad, the second more specific. The second question draws a word from the answer to the first, and asks, "what does _that word_ mean to you?" We are meaning-makers, and our passions are with us always. It hardly takes digging to see and uplift it. Who will you really hear today?
