North Gate Radio

Words October 18, 2007

This week, North Gate Radio examines words (not all of them; just a few) and their meanings. Sindya Bhanoo investigates the Hare Krishna’s who dance and sing on Telegraph Avenue. Jon Doss takes on the Cal VS Berkeley debate. Ben Hubbard discovers a new language: Oakland slang. Winnie Andrews speaks with a woman learning Navajo to keep it alive. And Erika Pallasigue discusses with James Turner, an English Professor at UC Berkeley, about the language’s “impurity.”
