Bonus Episode: The Best Thing I've Learned About Language part 2

This is a bonus episode featuring some of the amazing people I’ve taught this year at the University of Glasgow. Some are people who are new to linguistics, and some are now pretty seasoned researchers who are about to start PhDs. This is the second of two parts.

The students featured, in order of appearance, are:

* Jo Pearce is a Masters student in English Language & Linguistics at the University of Glasgow. They are currently working on their dissertation, which looks at how voice quality contributes to listener perception of speaker gender. You can find them on Twitter @_Jo_Pearce.

* Davie Wallace is from Cumbernauld and has just completed his Senior Honours in English Language & Linguistics. He recently completed his Dissertation, focusing on sociolinguistics, with specific regards to the use of the 'hoose' variable amongst Scottish working-class adolescents across varying contexts.

* Frankie Macleod is from the Black Isle, near Inverness, and has just completed her final year of English Language and Linguistics at Glasgow Uni. She hopes to continue her studies next year by doing a Masters in Linguistics at the University of Edinburgh.

* Anna Virtanen is a Finnish student soon to be starting her final year of undergraduate studies in English Language and Linguistics at the University of Glasgow. She is especially interested in bilingualism and linguistic identity. If you like to see pictures of mainly cups of coffee, you can follow her on Instagram @seikkailumielella.

* Edward Marshall is a postgraduate student taking a taught Masters at the University of Glasgow. He is about to embark on his Master's dissertation in which he is going to investigate singer-to-singer accommodation of brightness. He will begin his PhD investigating choirs and accents in September.

In his first year, he also studied Italian and French as he has aspirations to work abroad in Europe teaching English after his university studies.
