This book addresses important new questions about speech, ways of speaking, and ideas about language in the southern United States through interesting analyses of a variety of languages, dialects, and linguistic practices--including the activities of linguists themselves. It reminds us that the linguistic South is a lot more diverse than people often think and explores some innovative interdisciplinary ways of engaging with the diversity. --Barbara Johnstone, Carnegie Mellon University
