Readings and texts for teaching American Dialects

[Martinez-Gibson, Elizabeth A]

Dear colleagues,

In the spring, I will be teaching a course in American English Dialects for our Masters in Education Program. I taught this course at the undergraduate level a number of years ago and I used Allan Metcalf's book How We Talk. Since this is a graduate program, I need more readings and materials and since it has been some time since I've worked with English dialects, I was hoping some of you might be able to give me some suggestions.

Thanks,

Liz
