In her new Pushkin audiobook Inside Voice: My Obsession with How We Sound, actress/writer/director/producer Lake Bell explored style shifting and code switching with the brilliant linguist John Baugh. In this excerpt, you'll hear him unpack the unique linguistic heritage of those who trace their ancestry to individuals who were enslaved Africans. You’ll also hear Kunal Nayyar, who played Raj on The Big Bang Theory. And yes, that is his real accent. Inside Voice is available at insidevoiceaudiobook.com, Audible, Apple Books, Spotify, and wherever audiobooks are sold.
