Some Effects of Transcribers on Data in Dialectology
The transcription of speech into a graphic code is a basic procedure in both dialectology and sociolinguistics, and typically, it is this graphic analog of speech that forms the data for analysis in both disciplines. The act of transcription, however, affects linguistic data in subtle,difficult-to-detect ways. This paper demonstrates some of those effects by examining impressionistic phonetic data in American linguistic atlases. The paper identif…
Some Sources Of Divergent Data In Sociolinguistics
Quantitative sociolinguistics emerged more than thirty years ago with a flurry of interest in methodology. In fact, the work of William Labov and of other first- generation variationists such as Walt Wolfram, Ralph Fasold, Peter Trudgill, and Ronald Macaulay is largely responsible for introducing the serious consideration of issues of reliability and validity to the study of dialect.1 During the first decade of its existence, ameliorating the obs…
Demographic Change and American Dialectology in the Twenty-First Century
Dramatic demographic changes are rapidly reshaping the population of the United States in ways that make the research questions that motivated twentieth-century dialectology outmoded. This paper outlines some of the most important demographic changes currently affecting the United States and suggests some research questions that are implicit in those developments. While twentieth-century dialectology was driven by questions regarding the sociospa…
Approaches to Real Time in Dialectology and Sociolinguistics
Yall in Oklahoma
Parmi les traits morphosyntaxiques importants de l'anglais des Etats-Unis du sud, yall est certainement celui qui a fait le plus de bruit. A cote de son parent you-all, yall a fait l'objet de plus de 30 articles, dont la plupart est consacree a l'etymologie de la forme ou a son emploi suppose en tant que singulier. Beaucoup de ces 30 articles sont ecrits par des habitants du sud qui affirment, souvent avec une ferveur religieuse, que la forme doi…
The Effects of Methods on Results in Dialectology
Although dialectology was among the first disciplines to use the survey as a research tool, dialectologists, unlike researchers in other social sciences, have done little work in assessing the effects of their survey methods on their results. This paper attempts to begin a dialog on the effects of methods on results in dialectology by comparing results from five surveys which overlap both in their geographic coverage and in some of the linguistic…
Some patterns of linguistic diffusion
Although variationists have explored the diffusion of linguistic changes from one social group to another and from one linguistic environment to another in some detail, they have done much less work on the spatial diffusion of changes. In fact, Trudgill's (1974, 1975) use of Hagerstrand's gravity model to explain in hierarchical diffusion of innovations in East Anglia and Norway was the only systematic account of spatial diffusion in the literatu…
The apparent time construct
The use of apparent time differences to study language change in progress has been a basic analytical construct in quantitative sociolinguistics for over 30 years. The basic assumption underlying the construct is that, unless there is evidence to the contrary, differences among generations of similar adults mirror actual diachronic developments in a language: the speech of each generation is assumed to reflect the language more or less as it exis…
