All about accents!

from This Is Nashville Hosted by WPLN News - Nashville Public Radio

On today’s show, we speak with experts in the fields of dialect coaching and sociolinguistics to learn the cultural and scientific aspects of what we call an “accent.” We'll also hear from people who have moved to America and worked to change the way they sound. And we want to hear from you, too! So call into the show and talk about your own speech patterns. Do you think you have an accent? Have you been judged because of how you sound? Tell us your stories and toss us your questions. This episode was produced by Josh Deepan and Liv Lombardi. GUESTS: Richard Morris, PhD — MTSU Professor of Spanish and Linguistics Javaneh Hemmat — Owner, Hummus Chick (Instagram — @hummuschick) Erik Singer — Actor, Dialect Coach (Instagram — @eriksinger)
