Episode 56 - Danielle Turton and dialect study
Here are the show notes for Episode 56, in which Raj and Dan talk to Dr Danielle Turton, Senior Lecturer in Sociolinguistics at Lancaster University and Principal Investigator for a Leverhulme funded project on Lancashire rhoticity. We talk about:
Dialect levelling and why it’s a complicated picture
Why researching UK dialects is so interesting
What’s happening to rhoticity in the North West (and beyond)
Media discourses around dialect change
