Place has always been central to studies of language, variation and
change. Since the eighteenth century, dialectologists have been
mapping language features according to boundaries - both physical
and institutional. In the twentieth century, variationist
sociolinguists developed techniques to correlate language use with
speakers' orientations to place. More recently, perceptual
dialectologists are examining the cognitive and ideological
processes involved in language-place correlations and working on
ways to understand how speakers mentally process space. Bringing
together research from across the field of language variation, this
volume explores the extent of twenty-first century approaches to
place. It features work from both established and influential
scholars, and up and coming researchers, and brings language
variation research up to date. The volume focuses on four key areas
of research: processes of language variation and change across time
and space; methods and datasets for regional analysis; perceptions
of the local in language research; and ideological representations
of place.
