Appalachian Englishes in the Twenty-First Century provides a
complete exploration of English in Appalachia for a broad audience
of scholars and educators. Starting from the premise that just as
there is no single Appalachia, there is no single Appalachian
dialect, this essay collection brings together wide-ranging
perspectives on language variation in the region. Contributors from
the fields of linguistics, education, and folklore debunk myths
about the dialect's ancient origins, examine subregional and ethnic
differences, and consider the relationships between language and
identityaEURO"individual and collectiveaEURO"in a variety of
settings, including schools. They are attentive to the full range
of linguistic expression, from everyday spoken grammar to
subversive Dale Earnhardt memes. A portal to the language
scholarship of the last thirty years, Appalachian Englishes in the
Twenty-First Century translates state-of-the-art research for a
nonspecialist audience, while setting the agenda for further study
of language in one of America's most recognized regions.
