Talk at The Language Show 2023 The threads Between Dialects and Language

An exploration of the relationships between dialects and languages and implications they hold for our understanding of communication and culture. From the vast tapestry of linguistic diversity, dialects and languages are constantly emerging as distinct threads, adding unique flavours and regional nuances. They are living manifestations of communities that innovated them, preserving their history, traditions, and collective identity. This talk will explore these threads.
