Speaking American

Katz

The words we use and our pronunciation varies regionally across our country. Josh Katz, graphics editor at the New York Times, uses linguistics data and a map of the US to illustrate where those differences arise. In an interview on The Point, Katz talks with host Mindy Todd about the intersections of language, culture and geography, and his new book titled Speaking American.
