Episode 25 - Standard Deviations (University of Sydney)

May 01, 2023 • Junction Journalism

This month’s episode is the first in a three-part podcast by Nicola Brayan from the University of Sydney.
We’ve all been told that there’s a “proper” way to speak English. What if that wasn’t true?
There are thousands of dialects of English that are “non-standard” yet they still carry cultural and historic significance.
Nicola’s deep-dive into English dialects around the world shows how language shapes identity, communities, and, too often, discrimination.
This story challenges us to think before we judge the way others speak.
