James Harbeck is the most entertaining linguist you will read – and watch, this year…Possibly ever. Harbeck has taken on the study of the subtle dialog of grunts, moans, groans and eye rolls which often comprise teen-age communication. Harbeck hilariously describes each standard expression with the dialogue of a linguist, and the necessary physical facial communication which only comes of close observation, and sense memory from his own teen days. Harbeck has authored a book titled “Songs of Love and Grammar,” and publishes a blog “Sesquiotica.” You’ll find an in-depth interview with James Harbeck in The Week.
