Dave Shepherd and Howard Shepherd talk about rhythm and the significance of language cadence. (1:58)
Rhythm in the 'frozen register' (a term we picked up from Prof. Cheryl Carter) (3:33) Song: 'Rhythm Hymn,' by The Franks (9:44) Rhythm as a mnemonic device. We recall 'A Prayer of St. Chrysotom,' not having heard it in over 20 years. (14:51) Music bumper from 'Move to my Beat' by Cool Cluster (17:27) Rude word of the week: 'stumblebum' (18:04) Song: 'Back Beat Rhythm,' by Los Blancos (20:38) Rhythm as a social skill. Howard gangsta-raps the introduction to Beowulf (24:52) Music courtesy of GarageBand.com Theme music by Kick the Cat
time: 28:48 rating: PG (Oops! We just discovered that our first song has a rude word for 'poop' in it--twice! Otherwise this is an innocuous show this week.) Categories: language, linguistics |
