About this listen

In this episode of Linguistics Now, I speak with Professor Adrian Leemann of the University of Bern — a leading scholar in sociophonetics and dialectology.
Together, we explore how dialects evolve in our increasingly mobile and digital world, what our voices reveal about identity, and how linguistic diversity continues to shape the way we connect.

Having lived and worked in several countries, Professor Leemann brings a uniquely international perspective to language variation and change.
As my PhD supervisor, he has also been a guiding influence on my own research journey - making this conversation both personal and deeply insightful.

His latest books that we discuss are:

  • Dialäktatlas: 1950 bis heute
  • An Introduction to Forensic Phonetics and Forensic Linguistics

Thank you so much, Adrian! What an amazing discussion we have had - enjoy it!
