CONCLUSION; REFERENCES; INDEX 330 $aStandards and Variation in Urban Speech is an examination and exploration of the aims and methods of sociolinguistic investigation, based on studies of Scottish urban speech. It criticially examines the implications of the notions 'vernacular', 'standard language', 'Received Pronunciation', 'social class', and 'linguistic insecurity'. Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods using examples from comedians' jokes, dialect poetry, formal and informal interviews, and personal narratives, the work illustrates the actual norms that speakers exemplify in various ways. 410 0$aVarieties of English around the world.$pGeneral series ;$vv. 20. 606 $aScots language$xSpoken Scots 606 $aScots language$xVariation 606 $aScots language$xStandardization 606 $aUrban dialects$zScotland 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScots language$xSpoken Scots. 615 0$aScots language$xVariation. 615 0$aScots language$xStandardization. 615 0$aUrban dialects 676 $a427/.9413 700 $aMacaulay$b Ronald K.
