My guest for this episode is Matthew Hadodo!
Matthew is a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the University of Salzburg. His work encompasses variationist and discursive approaches to how people use language in relation to how they view themselves and others. He has mostly been focusing on the endangered Istanbul Greek dialect, and balances ethnographic fieldwork with sociophonetic approaches to studying language contact and change.
We discuss all of this, his family and their languages, being a heritage speaker and so much more. You will also hear the occasional sprinkle of Greek words between us!
If you would like to read more about his work, here is the book he has co-authored with Petros Karatsareas and Elena Ioannidou:
Follow Matthew on Academia and on ResearchGate to read more of his articles and work.
