Listen to Ruth Phillips, an Academic and Study Skills Tutor at MMU, interview Rob Drummond, Professor of Sociolinguistics at MMU, about academic voice, accent, and his new book 'You're All Talk: Why We Are What We Speak'. It's described as an exploration of 'the enormous diversity in how language is spoken to reveal extraordinary insights into how humans operate: how we perceive (and judge) other people and how we would like ourselves to be perceived'.
