Recenzii
Jim Stanford and his Dartmouth team have put New England in the spotlight for studies of language change and variation. This book provides a stunning array of new field methods and techniques of data analysis. It should be required reading for students of language and society for years to come.
James Stanford provides an extensive account of dialect variation in New England, a region that is critical historically to the understanding of American English. Technological advances since the time of Kurath's foundational work enabled Stanford to collect and statistically analyze data in ways that were previously unknown. The result is a comprehensive, readable, and important book for dialectologists of English.
This book is a significant and admirable achievement in American English dialectology: undoubtedly the most important study of New England English since Kurath's Linguistic Atlas of New England in the 1930s. It will appeal to a broad audience, from expert dialectologists, through college students in linguistics classes, to language-loving amateurs among the general public.
This book tells us everything we could want to know about New England English -- past, present and future -- and it has important theoretical impact. The clear presentation of methods are great training materials to follow his tantalizing suggestions for future study. It is a fine model of the work that can be accomplished through the integration of undergraduate teaching and research, providing new evidence that this regional dialect remains vibrant.
