Read the latest article here from Dr Elaine Vaughan (School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics) on why we subconsciously choose our words carefully when it comes to keeping the conversation indirect and polite, which can be viewed on RTE Brainstorm.
Gail Flanagan, PhD Researcher and Tutor in Linguistics appeared on the Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1 with Oliver Callan (this podcast is available to listen on RTE Radio 1) discussing the way we speak based on her recent RTÉ Brainstorm article entitled “'Ah sure, you know yourself': why Irish people never say what they mean”. Gail also discussed this topic on the Sean Moncrief Show. This podcast is available on GoLoud.
