Identifying, understanding, and supporting diverse first-generation scholars in linguistics
One in three college graduates is in the first generation of their family to complete a bachelor’s degree (NCES 2016), including 27% of doctoral students (CGS 2022) and 28% of tenure-track faculty (Morgan et al. 2022). Although there exists ample diversity of perspective and experience among first-generation students, relative to continuing-generation students, they are more likely to work full-time, care for dependents, and/or contribute to the …

Dialect
Age is a widely used variable in linguistic research, and is usually treated as a simple chronological measure of time since birth. However, upon closer examination age turns out to be a much more complex variable than that, because two individuals with the same chronological age are very likely to have experienced events affecting their use of language differently, even if they are otherwise matched for social factors. In addition, long‐standing…

Individual variation in the development of the Western Vowel System of Utah
The BIT, BING, BET, BAT, BAN, BOOK, and BUT vowels of ten Utah English speakers (born 1883–1928) were analyzed over the course of several decades of their adult lives. Most speakers participated in the Western Vowel System by lowering BIT and BET, retracting BAT, and raising BAN, with some fronting BOOK and BUT. Speakers generally did not exhibit monotonic change across the years from expected positions for BET, BAT, and BAN, and for the most par…

Early Development of the Western Vowel System in Utah
Introduction
1. introduction in 2012, a group of Western U.S. sociolinguists came together for an informal meeting at Stanford University to discuss current research on Western U.S. English dialects. The initiative was an attempt to find ways to align our research interests and encourage more work on the vastly understudied English dialects of this American region. As a result of this meeting, several participants began discussing how to synthesize our work o…
Pure diffusion? The great English hotel charges debate in The Times , 1853
This article explores the role of nineteenth century national newspapers and their readers in disseminating management innovations to the English hotel industry. In September 1853, many well-travelled, knowledgeable customers spontaneously wrote letters to The Times complaining about over-priced, uncomfortable English hotels compared to lower-priced, more comfortable European and North American hotels. The letters and editorials from The Times an…
Linguistic behavior and religious activity
Age
Age has proven to be an extremely useful variable in many social science fields, and linguistics is no exception: it is widely used in applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, and (especially) sociolinguistics. This makes sense - given that even casual observation tells us that humans behave differently at different points in the life cycle, it is quite reasonable to take age into account when investigating human behavior. In turn, the use of age …
