FEMINATYWY. O genderowej nowomowie słów kilka. | Maciej Makselon | TEDxKoszalin

Eighteen minutes about who needs feminatives and why, why they disappeared from the language, and what mysterious forces are driving them back? About which forms are necessary for the Polish language, the logic of language, and who imposes linguistic norms on us. Born on May 28th in democratic Poland, in Knurów in Upper Silesia, a town so small that if it were pretty, it could be called intimate. A graduate of Comparative Literature at the Jagiellonian University, he is the initiating and managing editor of the W.A.B. publishing house, an academic, a Polish language popularizer, and a writing instructor. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
