Linguist Boris Iomdin's Lecture: "How to Batone Like Harry, So You Don't Get Overpowered"

Linguist, co-author, and editor of dictionaries, Boris Iomdin, studies new words and the evolution of the meanings of old ones. Since 2022, on his Telegram channel "I Learned a New Word," he publishes a word he learned that day, and the comments discuss its meaning and usage in detail.

In this lecture, Boris Iomdin will share new insights into words, the stories behind their origins and spread, and how native speakers relate to them.
