Like its predecessor, Language Variety in the South: Perspectives in Black and White (The University of Alabama Press, 1986), this book includes current research into African American vernacular English, but it greatly expands the scope of investigation and offers an extensive assessment of the field. The volume encompasses studies of contact involving African and European languages; analyses of discourse, pragmatic, lexical, phonological, and syntactic features; and evaluations of methods of collecting and examining data. The 38 essays not only offer a wealth of information about southern language varieties but also serve as models for regional linguistic investigation. 606 $aAmericanisms$zSouthern States 606 $aBlack English$zSouthern States 606 $aLanguages in contact$zSouthern States 606 $aEnglish language$xDialects$zSouthern States 606 $aAfrican Americans$zSouthern States$xLanguages 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zSouthern States 606 $aEnglish language$zSouthern States$xForeign elements 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zSouthern States 606 $aEnglish language$zSouthern States 607 $aSouthern States$xLanguages 615 0$aAmericanisms 615 0$aBlack English 615 0$aLanguages in contact 615 0$aEnglish language$xDialects 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xLanguages. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEnglish language$xForeign elements. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aEnglish language 676 $a427/.975 701 $aSabino$b Robin$01641367 701 $aNunnally$b Thomas$01834162 701 $aBernstein$b Cynthia Goldin$f1947-$01834163 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972324203321 996 $aLanguage variety in the South revisited$94409246 997 $aUNINA
