With more than 6,000 languages spoken around the world, it’s no wonder that linguistics, the study of language, has a reputation for being complex and inaccessible. But here’s a secret: There’s a lot that’s quirky and intriguing about how human language works—and much of it is downright fun to learn about.

Every day, linguists ponder and try to solve some of the most intriguing scientific, historical, and sociological puzzles behind the inner workings of language—how it emerged, how it evolved, how it’s used, and where it’s going in the future.

What’s the deal with slang like “baby mama” and “LOL”— where does it come from and can it actually be OK to use?

Why don’t English speakers use words like “thou” and “thee” anymore?

What makes “mama” and “papa” the first words spoken by children in many languages?

These and other curious questions (and their surprising answers) are all part of what makes linguistics a field of study that’s anything but dry and dull. But with so many languages and so many potential avenues of exploration, it can often seem daunting to try to understand it. Where does one even start?

Look no further than Language A to Z, in which acclaimed linguist and celebrated Great Courses professor John McWhorter of Columbia University creates a delightful way to get accessible, bite-sized introductions to language. These twenty-four 15-minute lectures by one of the best-known popularizers of language use the English alphabet as a unique, offbeat way to let you hopscotch through some of the field’s major topics, hot-button issues, curious factoids, and more. Filled with humor, whimsy, and no shortage of insights, this course is a fast-paced tour of the same territory linguists tread each and every day.

俚语像“宝贝妈妈”和“LOL”的交易是什么 - 它来自哪里，实际上可以使用？

为什么英语不会像“你”和“你”这样的词呢？

什么使“妈妈”和“爸爸”成为许多语言的儿童说的第一句话？

这些和其他好奇的问题（以及他们令人惊讶的答案）都是使语言学成为研究领域的一部分，这是任何干涩的。但是，有了这么多语言和许多潜在的探索途径，试图理解它往往似乎是令人生畏的。哪里甚至开始？
