| Synopsis: |
This book is the first to examine the English spoken in New York City comprehensively, including pronunciation, grammar, and discourse. Using sources from classic studies to original data, Newman describes New Yorkers' speech in a way that is linguistically rigorous yet accessible to non-specialists. The book also shows how the linguistic similarities and differences among New Yorkers are rooted in social, cultural, and historical factors. |
