This resource pack will be a free pdf download featuring research summaries, worksheets and activities, along with a full glossary and Q&As with many of the linguists involved.
To celebrate its release, we are hosting a free launch event at the EMC, featuring talks by three linguists whose work appears in the resource pack – Paul Kerswill, Amanda Cole and Rhys Sandow – along with workshop sessions led by Dan Clayton, making use of the material from the pack. A printed copy of the pack will also be available to take away on the day. Lunch will also be provided.
