Putting linguistics on the map: an introduction to language and geographical origin
Linguistics HQ by Dr Rebecca Mitchell
Episode notes
Do you know your MLE from your UBE? Are you more of a trapper or a strutter? Do you ever find yourself changing your accent to fit the situation? And is that a thorn in that rose bush, or a fawn?? This episode will examine how our language use reveals where we come from, and how it can affect people's perception of us. Tune in to find out more! NB. The next episode will be on Friday February 20th. Don't miss it!
