Language Loss and Identity with Jack Connor
Description
In this episode I’m chatting about the importance of language to our identity with linguist and tech entrepreneur Jack Connor.
Jack is about to embark on a trip to the Arctic where he will deposit language data from more than 500 languages into a preservation vault.
We delve into the intricacies of language preservation, the impact of the internet on dialects, and the fascinating intersection between technology, language and identity.
We also discuss the urgency around saving endangered languages and the potential of AI to revolutionise language preservation.
