The Impossibility of Words: A Linguist’s Cure for Writer’s Block

11 Oct 2024 18:30

What makes words impossible? To the blocked writer, words can be an elusive currency, stubbornly refusing to flow. For linguists, words present a different challenge—how to define them. What makes a word a word? What distinguishes a word from a morpheme or a clause?

In this interactive online workshop linguist and fiction writer Dr Jodie Clark will share her unique perspectives on the creative possibilities of language structure with inspiring tips to help writers get beyond the blank page.
