Sascha WolferInterviews for mass #media are a bit tricky. On the one hand, it‘s good to be be asked about your expertise (here: comprehensible legal #language) and promoting #linguistics to a large audience. On the other hand, you have to be able to bear funny stuff like wishing a good a morning in (especially incomprehensible) #legalese. I‘d say the positives outweigh the negatives. In the end, it‘s also a good thing to take your work not TOO seriously, right?
