Lingua Franca: "a program of interviews and talks on the diverse subject of language, covering opinion and personal reflection, history and speculation, and current research and debate. In 2008, the International Year of Languages, Lingua Franca continued to examine all aspects of language, including cross-cultural communication, literacy, language policy, multilingualism, neologisms, alphabets, prayers and maledictions, sledging, swearing and flattery, the language of public debate, as well as endangered, secret and even invented languages."
