Catching Accents: How We Learn and Use New Dialect Features
Ever notice your accent change? Or a friend who sounds different after moving or hanging out with new friends? They’re not faking it–we sometimes change how we speak without even trying. This talk explores the ability to catch new accents–starting from when we are tiny babies learning our first dialect–and what this tells us about language and the mind.
