Language is evolving under the influence of internet slang, algorithms and influencer culture but what does that mean for the future of communication?
In his new book Algospeak Adam Aleksic, also known as The Etymology Nerd looks at how we’re entering an entirely new era of etymology with language transforming in real time.
Adam Aleksic is an American Gen Z linguist and content creator whose videos exploring the origins of words have garnered over three million followers across social media.
He talks to Guyon about how language shapes us, just as much as we shape it.
