How language shapes our identity

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Cambridge Festival of Ideas .

The way we speak and write is a major part of our identity. In this talk sociolinguist Dr Esther-Miriam Wagner explores what dialects tell us about our social networks, whether alphabets really mean anything, and why youth speak is not all that terrible. The event is free but booking in advance is required.
