Show notes for Episode 45
Here are the show notes for Episode 45, in which we talk to Dr Alex Baratta, Senior Lecturer in Language, Linguistics & Communication, Manchester Institute of Education, University of Manchester about:
Accents, accents… and more accents!
Teacher accents and ‘professionalism’
Social connotations and stereotypes of accents - good and bad
Why one accent isn’t ‘better’ than another and why exposure to accents might be the way to overcome accentism
In our regular Lang in the News segment we talk about how formal greetings and sign-offs might be becoming a thing of the past and why that’s the fault of… well, pretty much everyone that Daily Mail readers don’t like. We also have a quick chat about the European-wide attempts to make language more inclusive, the first round of WOTY2023 and we big up Rob Drummond’s book, You’re All Talk.
