Old Saxon and George Walkden

Episode 3 of ALILI is a deep dive into the Germanic languages, expertly navigated by George Walkden, who shares a wealth of information about this language family through his love for one particular member: Old Saxon. Having introduced the language, its few (but fun) sources and himself, George uses the example of Old Saxon to make some great points about the connections between language, politics and the accidents of history.Host: Danny BateGuest: Prof. George WalkdenMusic: Bossa Nova by William_KingArtwork: William Marler Hosted on Acast.
