UC Berkeley professor breaks down Kamala Harris' linguistics | Academic Review

During the 2020 vice presidential debate, then-Sen. Kamala Harris took the floor back from an interrupting Vice President Mike Pence with two words that soon became a slogan: “I’m speaking.” When Harris speaks, there’s one person who is listening very intently: Nicole Holliday, acting associate professor of linguistics at UC Berkeley. “Linguistics is the scientific study of language,” explains Holliday in this Academic Review video. “We study language like geologists study rocks.” When it comes to Harris, there are many layers to examine, from her strategic (and disproportionately criticized) use of profanity to the insights offered by her pronunciation and rhetoric. This video contains discussion of expletives spoken by current and former elected officials. To Holliday, Harris’ background as a Californian, a Gen Xer (well, nearly, but we’ll accept) and a child of immigrant parents all make for fascinating linguistic listening and parsing. That's all on top of her being the first female vice president.
