Abstract:

Do you want to talk about the linguistic research that you think is
important but you don't know where to start? Language is a topic that
is relevant to everyone, and linguists are often asked to speak
publicly about their research, to a range of lay audiences in the
media, politics, festivals and fairs, schools, museums and public
libraries. However, relaying this vital information in an engaging way
can often feel like an insurmountable task. This accessible guide
offers practical advice on how to talk about language to a range of
non-academic audiences. It draws on the linguistics behind effective
communication to help you have cooperative conversations, and to
organize your information for a diverse range of people. It is
illustrated with a wealth of examples from real-life scenarios, and
includes chapter-by-chapter worksheets, enabling you to make your own
fun and interesting language science activities to share with others.
