| Summary |
"This volume assesses the state of the field, reviewing the research of the past 20 years, and makes recommendations for needed research in a variety of areas of interest to language scholars, including the history of North American English, African American English, language in Latinx communities, French in North America, heritage languages in North America, American Sign Language variation, the Linguistic Atlas Projects, large-scale data sources, lexical variation, phonetic and phonological variation, morphosyntactic variation, social variation, language regard, and linguistics and social justice. It is a great resource for researchers wanting to get up to speed on specific topics within the realm of language variation and change in North America as well as researchers looking for new avenues of exploration." -- Provided on back cover |
