How Language Is Changing in Three Philly Neighborhoods
Philly is a city of neighborhoods, and those neighborhoods are always changing — including the way written language is used in public spaces. Daniel Guarin is a PhD candidate in Hispanic linguistics at Temple University, and he looked at over 3,000 signs in three heavily Latino neighborhoods: Fairhill’s “The Golden Block,” Olney, and the Italian Market area. Host Trenae Nuri chats with Guarin about his findings, and how these neighborhoods have evolved linguistically.
