Hi Terry,

could you please pass the text below on to the subscribers to the
ADS-L? I suppose it should be of interest to anybody working on
dialects, and American English dialects in particular (see vol. 2!). And
of course almost all  of the contributors are ADS members.

Thanks, and best,
Edgar

These new multimedia textbooks cover the phonology, morphology and

phonological, morphological and syntactic characteristics of each
variety discussed. They are followed by exercises and study questions
that can be used for classroom assignments as well as for self study
in
preparation for exams.

interactive and synchronized maps, an extensive bibliography on
relevant
research literature, and links to pertinent websites.
