Other title name: The Atlas of North American English
Available from: de Gruyter
Type of Resource: Primary Source
Description: The Atlas of North American English provides the first overall view of the pronunciation and vowel systems of the dialects of the U.S. and Canada. The Atlas redefines the regional dialects of American English on the basis of sound changes active in the 1990s and draws new boundaries reflecting those changes. It is based on a telephone survey of 762 local speakers, representing all the urbanized areas of North America. It has been developed by William Labov, one of the worlds leading sociolinguists, together with his colleagues Sharon Ash and Charles Boberg.
