In quarantine with Joanna Hausmann

Bilingual comedian Joanna Hausmann (pictured with her mother Ana Julia Jatar-Hausmann) is sitting out the lockdown at her Venezuelan parents&amp;#8217; New England home. She tells us of her love of outdated Venezuelan slang; also about parenting her parents (in both Spanish and English); and how the restrictions of quarantine are unleashing her creative instincts.

In this episode, we talk with American medical student Esther Kim (pictured). She&amp;#8217;s trying to overcome her suspicion of people with a particular accent, one that she&amp;#8217;s come to associate with racist taunts.  The COVID-19 wave of anti-Asian harassment has made things worse. Also, Stanford professor Seema Yasmin tells us why pandemics bring out the language of war.

<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina displaced tens of thousands of New Orleanians. Many never returned to the city. Others have since moved in, bringing with them different languages and dialects. Some locals now wonder if they have lost &amp;#8216;ownership&amp;#8217; of New Orleans English. Has the linguistic footprint of one of America’s most historically rich and diverse cities changed forever?

Susanna Zaraysky, speaker of nine languages, is one of those people who seem able to pick up French or Portuguese almost overnight. In reality, it&amp;#8217;s not so effortless—but is she cognitively predisposed to attaining fluency in so many languages?  We follow her to an MIT lab where researchers put her through series of tests.

The language of diamonds
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
‘Real’ or ’synthetic’? ‘Authentic’ or ‘lab-grown’? ‘Bloodstained’ or ‘green’? The highly-regulated words that describe diamonds define their narrative — and maybe even their value. We take you to New York’s Diamond District to meet some of its most engaging characters as they struggle to come to terms with the new lexicon of diamonds.

Are you repelled by certain words?  Do you get that fingernails-on-chalkboard feeling when someone says &amp;#8216;moist,&amp;#8217; &amp;#8216;dollop&amp;#8217; or &amp;#8216;fascia&amp;#8217;? In this week&amp;#8217;s episode Kavita Pillay, who has some word aversions of her own, seeks answers from linguists who study this phenomenon.

Want to say or write something anonymously? Or pretend you&amp;#8217;re someone else? Good luck. Linguists are using evermore sophisticated means to figure out who you really are.

In the West, we are used to sci-fi written by English-speakers who dream up English-speaking utopias and dystopias.  Often in the final reel, humanity is saved by English-speaking heroes. So what should we expect from China&#39;s newly-thriving sci-fi scene? Does it have its own hopes and fears, specific to Chinese values and encoded in the language? Or is the sci-fi genre more global than local?

Some people believe technology will render Braille obsolete, that blind people will choose talking apps and audiobooks over embossed dots. Maybe, but Braille has been written off many times before. Each time, it has come back stronger. We trace Braille from its beginnings, in Napoleon&#39;s France, through the &quot;War of the Dots&quot; in the early 20th century to the age of the smart phone, and beyond.

Professional soccer used to export its English-language terminology, giving other languages words like &#39;penalty&#39; and &#39;goal.&#39; But now, the roles are reversed.

In which we hear from another Ivanka, another Stalin and another Lenin. Ivanka&#39;s brush with fame came thanks to Donald Trump&#39;s carelessness on Twitter. But Stalin and Lenin were purposely given their names, by parents in the Indian state of Kerala. Do they have a date with destiny?

So whether you&#39;re from Thailand or Tennessee, you may want to get rid of your accent. We hear from a few such people, and from someone who has no interest in changing his accent.
