Interestingly, one of the findings of the recent paper 'Stereotyped accent judgements in forensic contexts' from @nataliebraber.bsky.social & @alicepaver.bsky.social is that the Birmingham accent seems to have surged in popularity.

We've got a new episode coming up soon featuring 3 linguists - yes, three! And one of them is doing the interviewing: Amanda Cole joins us as a guest interviewer as we talk to @nataliebraber.bsky.social & @alicepaver.bsky.social about their paper on Stereotyped Accent Judgements in Forensic Contexts

Very excited to have joined this platform: will be posting about language as heritage, linguistic variation in the East Midlands, pit talk, memory and accent discrimination! You can watch me talking about language and heritage on Notts TV here (scroll to 39.39): nottstv.com/programme/no...
