Listen "D is for . . . Dialect"
Episode Synopsis
Join Richard, Eloise and Ben in this episode for an exploration of the ever-popular topic of dialect. We test Eloise on her knowledge of Salford dialect; revisit the question of whether there is more than one way to pronounce the word ‘apricot’; examine what Yorkshire dialect looked like in 1683; and see if we can guess the meaning of some Leeds dialect words from 1862. Note: we originally recorded this episode in 2023, so keep listening to the end for an update on what we discovered when we revisited the OED in 2024. Hosted on Acast.
