Special #5Every sentence that we speak can conceal a myriad of meanings. Dr. Asya Achimova is exploring linguistic nuance: While some researchers assume ambiguity to be hindering in communication, Asya Achimova explores how we resolve and intentionally use ambiguous language.
She did her PhD in Cognitive Psychology at Rutgers University in New Jersey and is currently the substitute professor for Cognitive Modeling at the Institute of Cognitive in Osnabrück.
Listen to this episode if you want to know more about why irony sometimes fails and what the theoretical basics for this mismatch are.

He ended up doing a PhD in both, studied philosophy of mind and worked as a computational neuroscientist. He is now the dean of studies and study coordinator at the Institute of Cognitive Science in Osnabrück.

Schnack, Land, FlussSexualität und Aufklärung: Von "schnellen" Ehen und geheimen Binden
Damenbinden, die wie Schmuddelheftchen unter der Ladentheke verkauft wurden, Eltern, die ihre Kinder vor kopulierenden Tieren abschirmten und eine "schnelle" Ehe. Was Doris Winterhoff, 69 Jahre alt, zu Aufklärung und Sexualität vor über 50 Jahren berichtet, ist heute kaum mehr vorstellbar. Host Marit Schröder, 35, hat ihr erstes Kind ganz ohne Trauschein bekommen - ein Skandal war das nicht. Mit welchen Tabus ist Doris Winterhoff noch groß geworden?
