Film: If These Knishes Could Talk: A Film About the New York Accent
Linguistics in Motion Film Series Screening
From Atlantic Ave. to Zerega Ave., word on the street is the New York accent is disappearing -- a casualty of a city that’s evolved into a vast expanse of banks, H&Ms and glass-blown high-rises. If These Knishes Could Talk gathers accent experts, official and non, to weigh in on what it means to tawk the talk in a city that may be slowly trying to quiet the noise.
The Linguistics in Motion Film Series is a joint effort of the UNT Linguistics & Technical Communication department and the Media Library. All films screenings are held in the UNT Media Library, Chilton Hall Rm 111C. Each screening is followed by a guest lecturer
