The first episode of bip bop addresses the relationships among language, orality and identity: nuances of pronunciation, variations of accents, individual appropriations of language, and drifts of translation. In other words, processes of internalization and externalization of linguistic forms that might generate semantic or phonetic alterations, misunderstandings or innovations, sense of belonging or estrangement.
