Join us on this episode of The Succulent Podcast as we discuss the interplay of analytical linguistics and sociolinguistics, deconstructing what the term Serbo-Croatian means to different people, whilst exploring how linguistics has long been used a political tool. We also touch upon the idea of pluricentrism, where one language has multiple different standard varieties, indeed, Serbo-Croatian is one such language, as is Hindustani, comprised of Hindi and Urdu. Finally, we delve into the little talk-of matter on French minority languages, and emphasise why minority languages play such a crucial role in our understanding of linguistics as a whole today.
