  • S1 Ep2: It's Shite Being Scottish

    This week, Sophie discusses the importance of dialect as the ‘key to your cities’. The episode covers a (largely unsuccessful) quiz on Glaswegian dialect, a linguistic deep-dive on Scottish slang, how immigrants approach dialect, antilanguage, and how slang is more often than not, a sign of the times.
