Saturday Morning Physics | When “Physic(k)s” Lost Its ‘k’ and other Language Quarks
Anne Curzan, Geneva Smitherman Collegiate Professor of English, Linguistics, and Education (U-M)
Good linguistic fun for science and word enthusiasts alike! Linguist Anne Curzan will talk about quirky etymologies, the metaphors that abound in scientific language (and whether that’s a problem), as well as how human narratives (and the pronoun “I”) dropped out of scientific writing.
