Introduction
Because Language is a show about linguistics, the science of language. Daniel Midgely and Dr Mark Ellison discuss what we are doing cognitively when we're using language in a conversation. Prominence, why we make things stand out in a conversation and what that means. We use things like intonation and pitch and volume to guide the interpretation of our listener even in ways we're not aware of.
