Why do we love some accents and hate others? Why do we talk differently in different situations? Does learning a new language really teach you to think differently? In this linguistics podcast, I examine how the way we talk connects to who we are.

    Don't Forget To Tell Them That You're Polish

    This episode is Accentricity’s first audio research paper. In April this year, I was really excited to have an article published in a linguistics journal, telling people about some of the findings from my PhD research. But… not all people. Because although I did my best to write the article as clearly and simply as possible, it’s only really accessible to other linguists. That’s fine, of course – journal articles are for talking to other people in your field. But I think my findings might be interesting to people who aren’t linguists, too. So I’ve made this podcast episode to accompany it. It contains the same findings as the journal article, but explained in a more accessible way, and with some voices and ideas other than mine included. I’ve left out some detail which might be interesting to other linguists. If you are a linguist and want this detail, you can find the article here, or you can find the pre-publication version here. If you are a linguist who is much too busy to read the article, then give your eyes a rest and enjoy having information delivered to your ears instead :) This is a new thing that I’m trying out, and I’d love to hear what you think. Should I do this for every piece of research I do? Want to chat about the process of making it? Feel free to drop me a line on accentricity.podcast@gmail.com with ideas or questions. *** * Leon Żydowski moved from Poland to Scotland when he was 5. He lived there for 13 years, before moving back to Poland last year, aged 18. He’s now studying Tourism & Recreation at University in Wroclaw at weekends and working during the week.  * Julia Stachurska moved from Poland to Scotland when she was 7. Now, at 21, she’s a student at the University of the West of Scotland, a caseworker at the Scottish parliament, and an SNP (Scottish National Party) council candidate for Murdostoun, North Lanarkshire. ***   Our Accentricity t-shirts are out now!

    Veronica's Story

    Over the past year, during the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve been working with a group of people from all over the world, teaching them to podcast and helping them to tell personal stories about the experience of moving from one place to another. Everyone who took part was brand new to podcasting, and most of the episodes were made without any professional equipment, using mobile phones and free editing software. The results of this course are seven episodes: each one about a very different migration experience, and each person bringing their own style and personality. We hope you love them as much as we do. *** From Veronica: Hello, everyone! I am Veronica, a mainly Italo-Argentinean curious soul, with some German and Russian origins, too. Since my multicultural growth around some parts of the world and my multilingual journey, I have been interested in discovering new cultures and languages, one of the main reasons why I decided to study them and make a career out of this passion. Particularly, I like to concentrate on cross-modal and cross-cultural interactions between young adults. My plan is to start a podcast about it soon, interviewing some peers and sharing our adventurous and interesting stories (Las Cross-Rues, updates via my Instagram profile). Apart from that, I also like writing multilingual poems, that you can read here. *** Our Accentricity t-shirts are out now! Get yours here.

    Bonus Episode: Talking About Voices

    As well as making Accentricity, I work on the Manchester Voices project at Manchester Metropolitan University, with Rob Drummond and Holly Dann. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we ran a podcasting course and competition for schools called Talking About Voices. This is a special episode announcing the competition winners. If you’re a teacher in a school in Greater Manchester, email manchester.voices@mmu.ac.uk to ask about taking part in Talking About Voices round 2 in the coming school year. If you’re a pupil, or if you have a young person in your life who would love this, ask their teacher to get in touch. If you live in Greater Manchester, there are various ways you can get involved in our research right now! Just go to www.manchestervoices.org to get started.

    Special episode: "Really this girl ought to be going to something better"

    Over the past few years, as well as making Accentricity, I’ve been working on the Manchester Voices research project at Manchester Metropolitan University, with Rob Drummond, Holly Dann, Sarah Tasker and Erin Carrie. As part of this work, we used oral history recordings to explore language change over time, and we’ve recently published a journal article about this work. We’re really proud of this article, but it’s not really that accessible to people who aren’t professional linguists, and we wanted to find a way to share our work with everyone who’s interested: so we made a podcast episode to act as a companion piece to this article. If you want to read the article in full, you can find it here. The oral history recordings we used for this research were provided by the British Library’s Archives+ as part of their Unlocking Our Sound Heritage project, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. In this episode I speak to Dave Govier, the project manager for the North West Hub. We focused on a collection of interviews by journalist Alec Greenhalgh. The full length interviews are available in the Archives+ search room at Manchester Central Library, and you can also read the full descriptions online at the British Library’s Sound and Moving Image catalogue. The British Library collection reference is UAP001. The Manchester Voices project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Thanks also to Dr Danielle Turton for her advice on our methodology for examining rhoticity.
