Language Variety in the South Revisited

This is a comprehensive collection of new research on southern United States English by foremost scholars of regional language variation. Like its predecessor, Language Variety in the South, this includes current research into African American vernacular English, but it greatly expands the scope of investigation. It encompasses studies of contact involving African and European languages; analysis of discourse, pragmatic, lexical, phonological, and syntactic features; and evaluations of methods of examining data.
