"Tongue is a project about language. What happens if the ordinary form of a language course is borrowed to look at the way language is being used in daily life? How does language structure our daily interactions? What is the dominant use of language, which kind of words do we choose to use? Language has a power to define spaces of inclusion and exclusion in society. Instead of taking as a starting point the cliché of a "Tower of Babel" - a place where all languages exists, only separately - Tongue goes beyond this and asks: How can one try to create a new language by taking the daily language of individuals, rather than the language of groups, as a starting point?"--Cover.
