Communicating and Communing

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Linguist Deborah Tannen talks about how mothers and daughters communicate with one another. Then, a new novel set in colonial New York brings to life the tension and violence caused by rumors of a slave revolt in 1741. And a documentary takes us inside one of the most ascetic monasteries in the world. Plus, word maven Patricia T. O’Conner takes your calls!
