Event Details

Dr. Paul Reed, Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Alabama, presents an overview of variations and changes in Appalachian English.

Dr. Reed's language research focuses on the varieties of English across the Southern United States, examining variation in the Appalachian region, with an emphasis on vocalic and intonational variation. He earned his PhD from the University of South Carolina.

This free, virtual program is part of our lifelong learning series Empowered Minds. The focus of this signature service is healthy aging and enrichment for the retirement-age citizens of Licking County. All adults are welcome. Empowered Minds is supported by a sustaining gift from Robert Trimble Jr., a lifelong learner and, in part, by the Licking County Senior Levy. Donations are appreciated.
