The Language Development, Identity and Assessment group is pleased to present a public presentation entitled The Meaning of California English: Media Representations and Everyday Use by Dr. Robert Podesva, Department of Linguistics, Stanford University.

Podesva's research examines the social significance of sociophonetic variation, which he investigates by drawing on experimental methods, acoustic analysis, and discourse analysis. Current projects investigate phonetic and social dimensions of voice quality variation, language and sexuality, and California dialectology. He has co-edited Research Methods in Linguistics, Language and Sexuality: Contesting Meaning in Theory and Practice, and a special issue of American Speech on sociophonetics and sexuality.
