Media Request

[Shapiro, Fred]

I have had a request from a national television show wanting to talk with someone knowledgeable about dialectology, located near to New York or Los Angeles.  My impression is that dialectologists tend to be located in the South or maybe Midwest, so I am at a bit of a loss.  If anyone knowledgeable about dialectology in the N.Y. or L.A. areas is interested, or if anyone else can suggest such a person, I'd love to hear from you.
