It shows how the discourses of prescriptivist pronunciation, the xenophobic reaction against immigration to the eastern metropolises- especially New York - and the closing of the western frontier together constructed an image of the American West and Midwest as the locus of proper speech and ethnicity. This study is of interest to scholars and students in linguistics, American studies, cultural studies, Jewish studies, and studies in 410 0$aLanguage, Power and Social Process [LPSP] 606 $aEnglish language$zUnited States$xStandardization 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zUnited States 606 $aLanguage and culture$zUnited States 606 $aSocial classes$zUnited States 606 $aLinguistics$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStandardization. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aLanguage and culture 615 0$aSocial classes 615 0$aLinguistics 676 $a306.44/0973 700 $aBonfiglio$b Thomas Paul$f1948-$0175468 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464453803321 996 $aRace and the rise of standard american$9541974 997 $aUNINA
