Linguistic researchers from Stanford University were on campus Friday interviewing City College students as part of a statewide listening tour.
The tour is providing data for a continuing study on regional accents in speech. The researchers specifically targeted City College students who were born and raised in the area.
KCRA conducted a news report on the study Friday and interviewed the Express’s own features editor, Kristopher Hooks.
