Focusing on the interplay between accents and social class in the series Downton Abbey, this seminar paper examines how characters' speech patterns reflect their social status and personality traits. It specifically analyzes linguistic features such as t-glottalization and h-dropping, aiming to demonstrate that a character's accent serves as a significant indicator of their class and identity. The study posits that these linguistic elements not only reveal social hierarchies but also provide deeper insights into the characters' personas.
