A Conversation with Russell Schuh, Department of Linguistics, UCLA

"Nothing is more fun than doing my job," says Russell Schuh. A professor at UCLA since 1975, Schuh gets paid for doing his hobbies: teaching linguistics and doing descriptive, comparative, and historical work on African languages.

In his linguistics classes, he uses video clips of speakers of a variety of languages, for example, speakers of related languages counting 1-10 to show how languages can be similar and different at the same time and speakers illustrating how languages differ in the ways they put sentences together.
