Palgrave Studies in Language Variation: Language at the Intersection of Regional and Ethnic Identity

Anderson, B.

This work marries qualitative ethnographic methods to quantitative acoustic methods. The analysis describes how internal and external factors in phonological change differ and demonstrates how these two forces interact to structure the phonological systems of Appalachian and African American Southern Migrant speakers in the Detroit, Michigan area.
