What will language look like in the future? Will we still be able to read and write fifty years from now? Or will we get all our information by means of videos, voice messages and memes by then? Reading skills are hollowing out, especially among young people. Is this bad, or is this natural language development? How do languages actually change? Come listen to language and communication scholar Lieke Verheijen and linguist Marc van Oostendorp and dive into the future of language.
