Show notes for Episode 67
Here are the show notes for Episode 67, in which Jacky and Dan talk to Joe McVeigh, Senior Lecturer in Communication at the Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, PhD candidate at University of Helsinki and formerly a Linguistics lecturer at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland about how to spot (and critique) a bad linguistics article, including how to look at:
1) misleading framing 
2) contradictions, and 
3) no evidence (or anecdotal evidence). 
The articles we discuss are here and we’d recommend reading them before listening!

Joe's recommended reading:
William Labov, ‘Dialect Diversity in America’:  <a href="https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vrCKA3TDDrMC&printsec=frontcover&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vrCKA3TDDrMC&printsec=frontcover&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false</a> 
And he also talked about Mary Bucholtz. This is a good place to start with her work:
