About this episode
In this bonus conversation with Rob Drummond from back in June, he and I get into the fascinating concept of "languaging" — the idea that speaking is an active process we use to constantly shape and project our identities. Rob explains how our "speaking identities" are incredibly fluid, changing based on context, audience, and even the language we're using. Rob Drummond - https://bsky.app/profile/robdrummond.bsky.socialRob's book, "You're All Talk"? Share your familect recording via Speakpipe, by calling 833-214-4475 (or via WhatsApp chat.)? Watch my LinkedIn Learning writing courses.? Subscribe to the newsletter.? Take our advertising survey. ? Get the edited transcript.? Get Grammar Girl books. ? Join Grammarpalooza. Get ad-free and bonus episodes at Apple Podcasts or Subtext. Learn more about the difference. | HOST: Mignon Fogarty| Grammar Girl is part of the Quick and Dirty Tips podcast network.Audio Engineer: Dan FeierabendDirector of Podcast: Holly HutchingsAdvertising Operations Specialist: Morgan ChristiansonMarketing and Video: Nat Hoopes| Theme music by Catherine Rannus.| Grammar Girl Social Media:
