In a class of its own: an introduction to language and socioeconomic status

Linguistics HQ by Dr Rebecca Mitchell

Episode notes

What's another name for a precarious proletariat? Do accents open doors - or are they still quietly closing them? And is covert prestige just for secret agents? This episode, which explores the relationship between language, socioeconomic status and education, will answer all of these questions and more! On your Marx, get set, go! NB. The next episode will be on Wednesday 4th March.
