Radio Interview with 1079 Life FM!
I had a most enjoyable time during my interview with 1079 Life Fm Breakfast Show Presenters, Scotty and Bec, with much conversation about my current Adelaide Fringe Festival Exhibition, Lexicon: A Retro Pop Culture Exhibition that also offers the viewer a linguistic, and cultural presentation of the celebration of the genre, and its influence in a global society.
Selected pieces that are on exhibit were discussed with many personal memories shared from this era of pop culture.

Guest Lecturer/Presenter - Adelaide Language Festival - November 29
What a fantastic festival it was!
I conducted a lecture on artistically constructed languages that have been engineered for the tv and film industry. There are more than 100 languages that are being studied by scholars and pop culture fans, and I presented the Klingon language from the Star Trek Universe; Its unique syntax and structure of grammar.
The course provided background about the language, for example; where it is spoken and to which language family it belongs, number of speakers and percentage of children speaking it; basic knowledge in language such as greetings; one unique characteristic; and information about where it might be possible to continue to learn the language in Adelaide or online.
30 languages were presented during the festival which was open to the general public, and I am most pleased in receiving an invitation to be a featured lecturer once again at next year's festival!
See link below for an interview conducted by SBS TV National News about my lecture at the Adelaide Language Festival.

I was a featured presenter at Supanova Comic-Con and Gaming Expo in Adelaide on November 17, and I presented a new talk; Asterix vs The World. A comparative analysis of Asterix and other classic European comic book literature and their American, Australian and British counterparts.
I had a most enjoyable time engaging with the audience during my presentation, and on day two of the festival, I conducted a linguistic presentation/interactive workshop on artistically constructed languages that have been specifically engineered for the entertainment industry.
A most enthusiastic audience in attendance with the syntax of two languages; Klingon and Vulcan, from the Star Trek franchise, explained and demonstrated with audience participation encouraged!
