このコンテンツについて

The aim of this podcast is to capture as many different ways of doing English as possible. We talk about things that we're doing, things that we find interesting, things that we've read, things that we’ve written, things that we like, things that we've learned, things that we've researched. English is our starting point, but we bring in other languages we know about, as many as we can, as often as possible. And we never go too long without dipping into the OED to find out more about our words and their origins.

English at Leeds Trinity is made by staff and students studying English in the School of Digital and Screen Media at Leeds Trinity University.

  • H is for . . . Historical Linguistics

    H is for . . . Historical Linguistics

    We’re all interested in where English words came from and how the language evolved. But how can we do some research of our own into this? In this episode Richard, Ben and Hannah are joined by Dr Will Standing, who talks us through some of the digital resources which are freely available for researching the history of a language, including Google Ngrams, British National Corpus, and the EMMA corpus (which Will helped to develop). On the way we learn what the word ‘multiloquent’ means, and what an 'it-cleft' construction is, and Will and Ben share something about their historical-linguistic tattoos.

  • G is for . . . Geordie

    G is for . . . Geordie

    An episode focussed on everyone’s favourite accent. Richard and Ben are joined by proud Geordies Lucy and Rod, who share their love of stottie cakes, pease pudding, and the wonders of the word ‘canny’, and give us some insights into the distinctive features of Geordie pronunciation. We also think about Geordie celebrities and the modern phenomenon of ‘Geordie stylisation’, and consider how much this version of English is changing. Howay!

  • F is for . . . First Folio

    F is for . . . First Folio

    In this episode, recorded in 2024, Richard is joined by Ben, Hannah, Imi and Basil to compare notes on Shakespeare, and how we can access Shakespeare through the 1623 First Folio, the all-important book in which all Shakespeare’s plays were first printed together. We share our experiences of studying Shakespeare, and see how many of Shakespeare’s plays we can list; and we celebrate the new free online resources that give much more access to the pages of the First Folio text than we could ever get by looking at a museum copy behind glass. And on the way we discuss whether Shakespeare scholarship means Imi should now change her name . . .
