Story0
Linguistik-Professor Simon Meier-Vieracker vermittelt uns die faszinierende Vielfalt der deutschen Sprache. Wir sprechen, also sind wir. In verschiedenen Gegenden Deutschlands wird unterschiedlich gesprochen. Die lokalen Dialekte haben nicht nur Kultstatus, sondern geben uns auch Auskunft über die Herkunft von Sprechenden. Während das Ende eines Brotstücks beispielsweise in Ostdeutschland oft als »Kanten« bezeichnet wird, sagt man in Hamburg eher »Knust« und im Schwabenland heißt es oft »Riebele«.

Was emotional nicht stimmt, das hört man, denn Stimme macht Stimmung... Kennen Sie einen Topmanager mit Piepsstimme? Wie klingt die Stimme schüchterner Menschen? Welchen Eindruck macht es, wenn jemand nuschelt? Die Stimme verrät viel über uns: ob wir gut oder schlecht gelaunt sind, ob wir in einer Situation sicher oder unsicher sind und ob wir von dem, was wir sagen, überzeugt sind. Bereits in der Kindheit werden spätere Stimmstrategien angelegt. Um die Stimme wirkungsvoll einzusetzen, muss man wissen, was sie bewirkt.

All food has a story, reaching as far back into history as language itself. As languages followed and reflected the tides of civilizations, food language came to represent some of the highs and lows of how humans communicate: from the highbrow 'Chateauneuf du Pape: (the Pope's new castle)' to the 'nun's farts' of Jamaica (also known as 'beignets'). Chock full of food puns, linguistic did-you-knows and delectable trivia, this is the surprising and hilarious history of food, told through the lens of the fascinating evolution of language.

Mr. Jonathan Chambers senses that something is very wrong. The walk he takes every night is suddenly, slightly shorter. All around him things are vanishing. Is it because of the recent war or famine in the world? Does the scandalous theory that cost him his job hold the key? Or is it just the slowly unhinging mind of a recluse?
