He recently completed a large project exploring the accents and dialects of Greater Manchester, touring the region in his Accent Van. He appears regularly on radio and TV talking about language-related issues and spent some time as 'resident linguist' on BBC Radio 3's The Verb, as well as appearing on the BBC Breakfast sofa.
