Valerie Fridland: Yes, you have an accent
About this episode
Valerie Fridland discusses how accents reveal personal and social identity.
Whether it’s the accent that hints at your hometown, your group, your social status or your ethnicity, the sounds we say reveal a lot about who we are and where we’ve been – even for those who might think they have no accent at all.
