Ever wondered how the ‘Hello’ of the 90s has transformed into “Wassup’ today? Language has undergone a massive shift in tone, texture, formal and informal usage, colloquialism and many more aspects. 

In this edition of STEM101, we dissect the role of technology and communication in the evolution of language with Dr. Jonathan Evans. Dr. Evans from the Institute of Linguistics is an expert on historical phonology and phonetics. 

He studies the effects of tone, stress, and accent on Qiang (a Tibeto-Burman language) and its dialects.
