Radio on Regional Accents (WNYC)

You can tell a lot about someone from the way they speak. On a recent edition of "Please Explain" on WNYC's Leaonrd Lopate Show, they looked at the different accents found around the United States to find out where they come from, and why they persist. Joining Leonard Lopate were Natalie Schilling-Estes, Associate Professor of Linguistics at Georgetown University, and Kara Becker, of the Department of Linguistics at New York University.
