Woolf Institute, Shasha Suite, Madingley Road, CB3 0UB
In this talk, Dr Esther-Miriam Wagner, Executive Director of the Woolf Institute, will discuss how identity drives language change. She will investigate the most important factors of language change, how much we are all influenced by linguistic role models, why different generations sound different from one another, and how social groups segregate by speaking in a particular way.
