Interview - David Crystal (2015)
Top linguist David Crystal took a moment before his event to talk with us about accents, language and how it's changing in the 21st Century. We also chatted to his fans after the event to see what they thought. You can see David's hour-long event here on our website and on edbookfest's youtube channel, filmed live as part of Trading Stories at the 2015 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
