The Language for the People team is committed to the continued study and documentation of regional language variation while also working to connect with the larger community of users. Community connection is achieved through collaborative data-gathering efforts, educational programming, and information sharing. Take a moment to visit the Ohio Voices link to hear some of our recently curated story clips and then stop by the Language Matters podcast to hear from our students, our faculty, and our community members, both domestic and international, as they discuss matters of language policy and planning, and aspects of politeness, gender, class, and age in our everyday linguistic exchanges.
