Let’s Talk Time: Francisco Ongay on Language and the Expression of Time

In this episode, Brooklyn sits down with Francisco Ongay, a current PhD student studying syntax at the University of Calgary. Francisco studies how we use language to express time, whether it be past versus present (e.g., “I slept” versus “I will sleep”) or the duration of an event (e.g., “I slept for 8 hours”). In this interview Francisco talks about how we express time in several languages of the world!
