Abstract:

The Handbook of Perceptual Dialectology , Volume II, expands on the
coverage of both regions and methodologies in the investigation of
nonlinguists' perceptions of language variety. New areas studied
include Canada (anglophone and francophone), Cuba, Hungary, Italy,
Korea, and Mali, and most prominent among the new approaches are
studies of the salience of specific linguistic features in variety
identification and assessment. As in Volume I, the reader will find in
these chapters everything from the statistical treatment of the
ratings of dialect attributes to studies of the actual discourses of
nonlinguists discussing language variety. Dialectologists,
sociolinguistics, ethnographers, and applied linguists who work in
areas where language variety is a concern will appreciate the findings
and methods of these studies, but social scientists of every sort who
want to understand the role of language in the cultural lives of
ordinary people will also find much of interest here.
