Full event details

Does your accent make your sound smarter? Accents always get people talking, whether it's whose accent sounds most attractive (Scottish accents have been voted top this year), how convincing actors' accents are in films, or when someone changes the way they speak (think your telephone voice, or the changing accents of the Beckhams). Has anyone ever made assumptions about you, based on the way you speak? Attitudes to accents can also affect how intelligent, authoritative, or friendly someone is perceived as being and this linguistic bias can affect education and job opportunities.  This session will explore attitudes to accents, the impact this can have, and how to carry out accent research.

This session will be taking place on Thursday 30th June 2022 between 10am and 12pm.
