Is There a Midland Dialect Area?--Again
Number Matters
Can She Be Prestigious and Nice at the Same Time? Perceptions of Female Speech in Hoosierdom
SINCE AS EARLY AS 1959, SOCIOLINGUISTS have tended to regard as almost a truism notion that speakers of a perceived prestige dialect such as Received Pronunciation in Great Britain are judged by nonprestige dialect speakers to be on one hand educated, intelligent, competent, industrious, and of a higher class socioeconomically yet on other hand less trustworthy and kind, as well as less socially attractive, sincere, and good-humored. These same s…
Female Regional Speech and Occupational Classification: Linguistic Attitudes in Hoosierdom
SINCE LABOV'S (1966) PIONEERING WORK on subjective reaction testing, a number of studies have indicated that people evidence a range of reactions to different regional and social dialects. Some of these studies (such as Houck and Bowers 1969; Shuy and Fasold 1973; Lambert, Giles, and Picard 1975; Ryan and Giles 1982; and Preston 1982, 1986) have looked at responses to regional dialects represented in full speech samples while others (such as Habi…
The Problem of Social Class Grouping in Sociolinguistic Research
SN DAVIS (1982) I POINTED out that some American sociolinguists either have failed to take advantage of statistical methods or have used statistics inappropriately at times. This paper carries that notion a bit further, into the area of how respondents are grouped into social classes.' In some cases, such as the comparison of the linguistic behavior of the sexes, the grouping is a supposedly natural one: males and females. In the case of social c…

English Dialectology: An Introduction
American Social Dialectology: A Statistical Appraisal
BOUT A GENERATION has passed since Glenna Pickford (1956) criticized the Linguistic Atlas for errors in sampling, and since then nearly every sociolinguistic study in the United States has attempted to be more systematic in selecting respondents.' Even reviews of sociolinguistic research such as that of Baubkus and Viereck (1973) have tended to stress the importance of adequate and reliable sampling techniques. Regardless of the correctness of Pi…

McDavid's oftquoted characterization, the self-appointed guardians of linguistic chastity, they naturally regard any foreign intrusions as serious indeed. For example, Ze'ev Chomsky (1967, p. 221) writes: In past few years, influence of English language on Hebrew has increased, especially in press, both in news broadcasts and in pol…
Phonetic Realization Rules in a Generative Phonology
Worksheets and Their Variants
NY PAPER with the title Worksheets and Their Variants should be preceded, I think, by some kind of apology. All well-trained dialectologists have been this route before. My hope is that some readers have not yet completed their initial preparation in the field, for such are the only people for whom this paper will hold anything new. Perhaps the best place to start is with a definition, or rather a distinction, between the terms worksheets and que…
