J.O.Y. Fellowship Lunch - Homegrown Expressions
So, how do you pronounce words like oil, fire or creek? When you order a soft drink, do you ask for a coke, a soda or pop? And what sayings you use help identify where you are from?
For October's J.O.Y. Fellowship Lunch, Dr. Sam Overstreet, English professor at Maryville College, brings you a closer look at local dialects, what shaped them and how we all use them everyday.
Chef Amelia will be cooking lunch which is $5. The linguistics lesson is free.
