Why do you say ‘tomayto’ and I say ‘tomahto’? And is one way of speaking better than another? In You’re All Talk, linguist Rob Drummond explores the enormous diversity in how language is spoken to reveal extraordinary insights into how humans operate: how we perceive (and judge) other people and how we would like ourselves to be perceived. He investigates how and why we automatically associate different accents with particular social characteristics — degrees of friendliness, authority, social class, level of education, race, and so on — and how we, consciously or subconsciously, change the way we speak in to create different versions of ourselves to fit different environments. Ultimately, You’re All Talk demonstrates the beauty of linguistic diversity and how embracing it can give us a better understanding of other people — and ourselves. An accessible and entertaining look at how the way you speak influences your identity, for readers of David , Susie Dent, David Shariatmadari, and Gaston Dorren. Rob Drummond is a UK based author who appears regularly on radio and TV talking about language-related issues. He was BBC Radio 3 The Verb’s resident linguist and has appeared on BBC Breakfast. Review Quote Praise for Researching Urban Youth Language and Identity: ‘This collaborative piece of research raises awareness of the value of nonstandard language and informs policymakers and commentators, which will hopefully help mitigate social bias and inequality. It also has implications for future stus, both empirically and theoretically, by offering an elaborate account of conducting fieldwork as well as combining different research traditions. This book is especially helpful to those who will conduct school-based ethnography.’ Review Quote Praise for Researching Urban Youth Language and Identity: ‘Drummond’s writing will be accessible to a wide range of readers, including students and those with no background in sociolinguistic research … Researching Urban Youth Language and Identity offers a thoughtful, reflective, and unusually honest account of doing fieldwork in a challenging context. It is engaging, highly readable, and will certainly be of use to anyone considering linguistic ethnography — of any type — in the future.’ Review Quote Praise for Researching Urban Youth Language and Identity: ‘This book is a gem. It gives rare insights into the lives and language of young people in non-mainstream learning centres, treated with the respect and admiration that Drummond shows us they clearly deserve. But it does far more than this. It portrays the roller coaster ride of a successful interdisciplinary research project, from start to finish, with all the trials and excitement encountered along the way. This engagingly written personal account will be hugely important for linguists, teachers, policy makers and anyone interested in urban youth language, and inspirational and essential reading for both new and experienced researchers.’ Giá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành.
