The English of the southern United States is possibly the most
studied of any regional variety of any language because of its rich
internal diversity, its distinctiveness among regional varieties in
the United States, its significance as a marker of regional
identity, and the general folkloric appeal of southern culture.
However, most, if not all, books about Southern American English
have been directed almost exclusively toward scholars already
working in the field. This 2003 volume, written by a team of
experts, many of them internationally known, provides a broad
overview of the foundations of and research on language variation
in the southern United States designed to invite inquiry and
inquirers. It explores historical and cultural elements, iconic
contemporary features, and changes in progress. Central themes,
issues and topics of scholarly investigation and debate figure
prominently throughout the volume. The extensive bibliography will
facilitate continued research.
