Accent change in 'The Archers'

Press/Media: Research

Description

I was interviewed live on Radio 4's PM programme by Eddie Mair on 10 February 2016. This was ahead of the first 'Academic Archers' conference which was held in February 2016.

The Archers: An Academic Study

An academic study has taken place looking at what The Archers could tell us about accent change, and things like "socio phonetics". The research was presented at a conference called "The Archers in fact and fiction: Academic analyses of life in rural Borsetshire"
