“This is a terrific book! Its geographical and sociocultural
coverage is impressively broad, and its contributors include the
leading experts on each variety. Authoritative content, accessible
writing, jazzy titles and copious photographs combine to make this
a volume that linguistic professionals, college students, and the
general public will find equally inviting.” John R.
Rickford, Stanford University
“Walt Wolfram must be a very persuasive man. He and Ben
Ward have persuaded some of the world’s greatest experts on
North American varieties of English to appear between the same
covers to create a state-of-the-art, but also extremely accessible
and highly enjoyable, book on these fascinating dialects, their
pasts, and their futures.” Peter Trudgill, University of
Fribourg
