Linguistic geography may simply present the facts about a linguistic detail on which there has been speculation; it may enable a speaker to judge the social acceptability of a linguistic form on the basis of usage rather than prejudice; or it may throw light on the history of the language, and suggest the forces that have led to the prestige of linguistic forms. Conclusions of all these types can be drawn from an examination of the occurrence or loss of initial /h-/ before semivowels in the states of the Atlantic seaboard, as recorded in the field records for the Linguistic Atlas of the United States and Canada
