This edited collection presents papers relating to the state of the
art in Perceptual Dialectology research. The authors take an
international view of the field of Perceptual Dialectology, broadly
defined, to assess the similarities and contrasts in non-linguists'
perceptions of the dialect landscape. The volume is global in
focus, and chapters discuss data gathered in the United States, the
United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, France, Germany, Austria,
and South Korea. The common methods used by many of the
contributors means that readers will be able to draw comparisons
from the breadth of the volume. The primary focus of this volume is
geared toward an examination of dialect perceptions in and of
cities, with an additional goal of presenting empirical,
theoretical, and methodological advancements in Perceptual
Dialectology. Authors' contributions to the collection examine how
the urban setting influences perceptions of linguistic variation
and, in the course of examining the connections between place and
perceptions, explore several interrelated themes of linguistic
variation, including the differences in the perception of rural and
urban areas, processes of perception and language change, and the
relationship between perception and 'reality'.
