Phonetics & Linguistic Diversity with Dr. Lindsay Butler

Have you ever moved to a new town, city, or even country and were struck at how different everyone else sounds? Sure, there are some 7000 languages around the globe, but why do they sound so different from each other? Emily & Aidan are joined by speech-language pathologist and linguistics researcher Dr. Lindsay Butler to unpack the wonderful world of phonetics and explore the powerful link between language and identity. Shoutout to listener Cammie for submitting today’s LingQuery!
