How to tell if someone is an expert – from an actual expert
The way expertise is expressed is very similar to how confidence is expressed. And despite the trope of mansplaining, this happens independent of gender.
Thora Tenbrink is a Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Linguistics at Bangor University.
I am a linguist with a main interest in Cognitive Science. Using Cognitive Discourse Analysis, my research addresses empirical questions about the human mind - how we conceive of the world around us, how we solve problems, etc. The way we verbalise our thoughts can reveal more about human cognition than we might expect.
