Summary: This Web site, created and maintained by Macneil/Lehrer Productions, enables viewers to hear actual speech samples from across the United States.
This site is very interesting, here we can find studies about different aspects of language, they present articles based on academic texts and also suggests further reading for the topics. The language used in the articles is very simple and easy to understand. Indubitably it’s a great site about the topic.
