Abstract:

Place has always been central to studies of language, variation and change.
Since the eighteenth century, dialectologists have been mapping language
features according to boundaries - both physical and institutional. In the
twentieth century, variationist sociolinguists developed techniques to
correlate language use with speakers' orientations to place. More recently,
perceptual dialectologists are examining the cognitive and ideological
processes involved in language-place correlations and working on ways to
understand how speakers mentally process space. Bringing together research
from across the field of language variation, this volume explores the extent
of twenty-first century approaches to place. It features work from both
established and influential scholars, and up and coming researchers, and
brings language variation research up to date. The volume focuses on four key
areas of research: processes of language variation and change across time and
space; methods and datasets for regional analysis; perceptions of the local in
language research; and ideological representations of place.

Part I. Changing Places: 1. Changing places: tracking innovation and
obsolescence across generations Sali A. Tagliamonte; 2. Changing sounds in a
changing city: an acoustic phonetic investigation of real-time change over a
century of Glaswegian Jane Stuart-Smith, Brian Jos�, Tamara Rathcke, Rachel
Macdonald and Eleanor Lawson; 3. Local vs. supralocal: preserving language and
identity in Newfoundland Sandra Clarke; 4. Variation and change in the
realisation of /r/ in an isolated Northumbrian dialect Warren Maguire; Part
II. Describing Places: 5. Corpora for regional and social analysis Karen P.
Corrigan; 6. Using archives to conduct collaborative research on language and
region Fiona Douglas; 7. Maps and mapping in (perceptual) dialect geography
Chris Montgomery; 8. Which way to look?: perspectives on 'urban' and 'rural'
in dialectology David Britain; Part III. Identifying Places: 9. Identifying
places: the role of borders Dominic Watt and Carmen Llamas; 10. 'I stole it
from a letter, off your tongue it rolled': the performance of dialect in
Glasgow's indie music scene Miriam Krause and Jennifer Smith; 11. Where the
black country meets 'black Barnsley': dialect variation and identity in an
ex-mining community of Barnsley Kate Burland; 12. 'The land steward wouldn't
have a woman farmer': the interaction between language, life trajectory and
gender in an island community Emma Moore and Paul Carter; Part IV.
Enregistering Places: 13. Characterological figures and expressive style in
the enregisterment of linguistic variety Barbara Johnstone; 14.
Enregisterment, and the social meaning of howay': dialect and identity in
north-east England Julia Snell; 15. Indexing Acadian identities Ruth King; 16.
