Show Notes
A chat with Dr Kelly Wright, who's been working on… well, really a lot. Kelly is at the juncture of a lot of areas we're keen on.
Oxford's effort to document African-American English? She's been there.
Doing lexicography with the American Dialect Society? She's on it.
The LSA's social media committee? She… was on it.
And she's been looking into a new unexplored area: people's ideas about their own language knowledge.
But it's not all easy. And Kelly is here to tell us about her view of linguistics… from the struggle pile.
