Abstract:
Appalachian Englishes in the Twenty-First Century provides a complete
exploration of English in Appalachia for a broad audience of scholars and
educators. Starting from the premise that just as there is no single
Appalachia, there is no single Appalachian dialect, this essay collection
brings together wide-ranging perspectives on language variation in the region.
Contributors from the fields of linguistics, education, and folklore debunk
myths about the dialect’s ancient origins, examine subregional and ethnic
differences, and consider the relationships between language and
identity—individual and collective—in a variety of settings, including
schools. They are attentive to the full range of linguistic expression, from
everyday spoken grammar to subversive Dale Earnhardt memes.
A portal to the language scholarship of the last thirty years, Appalachian
Englishes in the Twenty-First Century translates state-of-the-art research for
a nonspecialist audience, while setting the agenda for further study of
language in one of America’s most recognized regions.
Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics
