About the Author

Over the past three decades, Walt Wolfram has pioneered research on a wide range of American vernacular dialects and authored or co–authored 13 books and over 150 articles. After 25 years as the Director of Research at the Center for Applied Linguistics, he was named the first William C. Friday Distinguished Professor at North Carolina State University in 1992.

Natalie Schilling–Estes has coordinated field research for the North Carolina Language and Life Project at North Carolina State University since 1993. She has conducted research on historically isolated coastal dialects of American English, focusing on phonological variation and style shifting.

From the Back Cover

"Written by an established scholar who arguably knows as much about the subject as anyone alive and a brilliant, up–and–coming young linguist, the quality and encyclopedic scope of this book will make it a standard reference for years to come."
–– Ralph Fasold, Georgetown University

This book provides an up–to–date description of language variation in American English, covering regional, ethnic, and gender–based differences. The author describes situations ranging from historically isolated, rural dialects to developing, urban ethnic varieties as they consider the descriptive, theoretical, and applied ramifications of dialects in American society. An appendix of major dialect structures in American English and a glossary of terms for non–specialists are included.
