The 'N' Word

  • Lucy Richardson
An outcome celebrating the English language using the word ‘nice’ to explore the origin, current meaning and pronunciation. Focusing on the phonetics and the overuse of the word, I created a booklet with the dimensions, paper and grid revolved around the the Cricketers Arms pub, in Bournemouth. The book contains extracts from recordings taken at the pub alongside articles about the word. This reflects how ‘nice’ is a non-committal word, changing depending on its context and how it can be both sincere and insincere.
