Do we, like, overuse like?

Like like-minded linguists have said, the word “like“ is, like, among the most versatile of words - like the Swiss Army Knife of modern American linguistics. I think we like it? Hosted by Dr. Erica Brozovsky, Otherwords is a PBS web series on Storied that digs deep into this quintessential human trait of language and finds the fascinating, thought-provoking, and funny stories behind the words and sounds we take for granted. Incorporating the fields of biology, history, cultural studies, literature, and more, linguistics has something for everyone and offers a unique perspective on what it means to be human. Otherwords is a production of Spotzen for PBS Digital Studios.
