IDEA editors pose questions to ADS

Betsy Evans

My latest In a Manner of Speaking podcast is just out. It’s a conversation with Betsy Evans, the new executive director of The American Dialect Society (ADS). Listen here.

I asked Betsy questions posed by IDEA editors. So thanks to Eric Armstrong and Amy Stoller, for your questions. And thanks, too, to Doug Honorof for his suggestions for conversation topics.

And thanks to Tanera Marshall for her great Alaska 1 IDEA sample. It is featured as the subject for this month’s “Guess that Accent” quiz.
