I love this guy-- I learned of his linguist expertise from a Forensic Files episode (where they mentioned the trivia of his Sha-Na-Na history).. but with this I've learned of his love of language, studying various foreign languages just from the love of it... a fascinating mind !
In statement Analysis we always flag anything that is repeated as sensitive. In the, Hummert "serial killer" transcript, "husband" is mentioned 4 times. Now, why would it be sensitive to the author, because he (husband) wrote it.
Linguistic correction: how anyone pronounces a word depends on the speaker's own accent. Catalans pronounce it with an S sound but this man is not Catalan so he doesn't have to pronounce it like a Catalan. Spaniards in most of the rest of Spain (excluding the South) pronounce it with a "th" sound.
Frustrating+++! What I could follow was extremely interesting BUT firstly the subtitles went racing ahead of the actual speech and remained intermittently out of synch. Second, as others have said, the delegates cannot be heard clearly (and at times not at all). Because of these two factors I have had to abandon it after 30 minutes. Such a shame.

i wish he would have repeated what the audience member's said.
Monica Kee me too.
if you turn up the volume and listen closely, you'll be able to decipher what the audience is saying. It worked for me.
7:50 to skip to what forensic linguistics is. (Where he should have started the speech.)
*taps microphone* teen angel, can you hear me?
WOW.
Linguistic correction: Catalans do not lisp their soft C's, so Barcelona should be pronounced with an S sound.
what is lisp
