THE SOUND OF WORDS

on BBC Radio 3

by W B. STANFORD
Regius Professor of Greek in the University of Dublin
There are qualities inherent in words which a poet or orator can exploit to please us or to annoy us or to influence us. Professor Stanford illustrates how the sound of words can be as important as their conceptual meaning, and can influence the unconscious minds of both those who chose the words and those who hear them.
With readings by DENYS HAWTHORNE and the voices, on record, of W E. Gladstone
W. B. Yeats , James Joyce and Dylan Thomas
Produced by Adrian Johnson
