As our world gets smaller through technology, and our use of language is changing rapidly, it’s important to give some thought to the language we each use and what we’re trying to communicate with it. The words we choose, the ways we choose to express them, and the ways we choose to withhold information, all impact how we relate to each other.

The Language Research Laboratory at Ohio State University has put together a wonderful set of videos about the psychology of language in The Psychology of Language Video Series. Each video is 15 minutes or less. They present topics like: “The Psychology of Swearing;” “The Bilingual Mind;” “The Power of Silence: Nonverbal Communication;” and many others.

The videos were designed for students, teachers, and the general public. Take a look!
