Accented

Following Queen Elizabeth II’s death, the BBC published an article on accent changes of Queen Elisabeth II during her long reign. It features research by one of our colleagues, Ulbrich Reubold (a post-doc on Ineke Mennen’s FWF project) who together with his former colleague Jonathan Harrington (from the Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing at Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich) "has analysed the Christmas broadcasts of Queen Elizabeth II in depth to understand how her accent shifted at different points in her life, and why”. See the full feature here: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220915-what-the-queens-english-told-us-about-a-changing-world.
