For more word-nerdery, subscribe to Storied!: http://bit.ly/pbsstoried_sub

Authors often create words just for a one-time usage… but a special few will gain traction and become full-fledged parts of our shared lexicon!

Otherwords is a new PBS web series on Storied that digs deep into this quintessential human trait of language and fınds the fascinating, thought-provoking, and funny stories behind the words and sounds we take for granted. Incorporating the fıelds of biology, history, cultural studies, literature, and more, linguistics has something for everyone and offers a unique perspective into what it means to be human.
