Morning all,
As promised here is the article on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's code-switching being described as 'verbal blackface' to support our study of code-switching. This article was written by John McWhorter who you may remember from the TED Talk on texting. Please read the article and summarise it either in your notes or on your blog, making links with Ives' 2014 study.
Additionally, here is an article discussing the ComRes 'accents' study that I referenced in class.
For the rest of the lesson please work your way through the following list (summarise on blogs or in your notes):
Milroy's 'Belfast' study (link to help)
Giles 'Capital Punishment' study
Labov's 'Department Store' study
Bernstein and Labov (link to a PPT to help you here)
BBC 'Voices' project
British Library 'Sounds' project
Search for articles from UK newspapers on the topic of accent and dialect
Any questions let me know :)
Enjoy!
