Happy Labor Day weekend to those of you in the United States. Speaking of labor, few people work harder than legendary linguist David Crystal, who has just completed three years’ work on his new website, TraceThatPlace.com. The site allows users to explore “the story and sound of place names on the road signs and railway stations of Britain.”
David joins Paul on this month’s episode of the In a Manner of Speaking podcast to discuss the site and the history of place names in Great Britain. Go here to listen.
