How is it that two people who speak two different languages may look like they are having a conversation?
In this episode, I feature a paper by Cwiek and colleagues who conducted online and in-person experiments with 900 participants who spoke 28 languages. They asked them to listen to a set of sounds and guess what they represented. And they found how certain sounds, also known as vocalizations, can be recognizable to people around the world.
