Episode Synopsis "Accommodation Theory S1:E3"

This episode of lingcast is dedicated to the University College London and their request of an episode about accommodation theory.  Have you ever been asked if you kiss your mother with that mouth, or told to wash your mouth out with soap? Join me and think about what causes our voice to change when we are with our friends compared to when we're with our family, and ask yourself the all important question of how would you speak to the Queen.
