HOW YOU SAY IT Why You Talk the Way You Do And What It Says About You

by | Read by Andi Arndt

Contemporary Culture • 7.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2020

Narrating this review of what scientists know about speech and language, Andi Arndt could not sound more intelligent and knowledgeable. Her clear and natural delivery strikes a balance between dispassionate and overeager teaching. Like the author, she lets the data speak for itself. Professor Kinzler is a social activist and tireless researcher who cites many studies about how people stereotype, judge, and mishear others when they speak differently. Southern accents; foreign accents; and such variables as vocal clarity, pitch, pacing, and the vernacular of subcultures and adolescents are all fair game for the research she summarizes. Well-organized and appealing to hear, this audio is a pleasing invitation for listeners to check the human tendency to look down on people who sound different.
