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. 410 0$aStudies in English language. 606 $aEnglish language$zSouthern States 606 $aEnglish language$zSouthern States$xForeign elements$xAfrican 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zSouthern States 606 $aAfrican Americans$zSouthern States$xLanguages 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zSouthern States 606 $aEnglish language$xDialects$zSouthern States 606 $aAfrican languages$xInfluence on English 606 $aBlack English$zSouthern States 606 $aAmericanisms$zSouthern States 615 0$aEnglish language 615 0$aEnglish language$xForeign elements$xAfrican. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xLanguages. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aEnglish language$xDialects 615 0$aAfrican languages$xInfluence on English. 615 0$aBlack English 615 0$aAmericanisms 676 $a427/.975 702 $aNagle$b Stephen J.$f1948- 702 $aSanders$b Sara L. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450326003321 996 $aEnglish in the southern United States$9668718 997 $aUNINA
