A Publication in the Centennial Series of the American Dialect Society in celebration of the beginning of its second century of research into language variation in America.
“Heartland” English is the first book-length scholarly treatment of English spoken in the Midwest, or the northern interior of the continental United States. Frazer and his contributors focus on the myth of a uniform, “Midwestern” variety of American English. They show the complex region in which forces-old and new- have led to variety in the spoken language.
Contributors include: Craig M. Carver, Thomas Donahue, Rachel Faries, Ticmothy Frazer, Timothy Habick, Robin Herndobler, Donald Lance, Donald Larmouth, Michael Miller, Thomas Murray, Denis Preston, Marjorie Remsing, Timothy Riney, Andre Sledd, Bruce Southard, and Erick Thomas.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mapping the Diverse Voices of America's Linguistic Heartland.Heartland English is the first book-length scholarly treatment of English spoken in the Midwest, or the northern interior of the continental United States. For generations, the American Midwest has been portrayed as the home of a single, uniform variety of 'standard' American English. Heartland English: Variation and Transition in the American Midwest challenges that assumption through the first book-length scholarly examination of the rich linguistic diversity that exists across the region. Bringing together the work of leading dialectologists and language scholars, editor Timothy C. Frazer presents a groundbreaking exploration of how history, migration, settlement patterns, geography, culture, and social change have shaped the spoken language of the Midwest. Covering communities across the northern interior of the United States, the volume reveals a complex linguistic landscape marked by regional dialect boundaries, evolving pronunciations, distinctive vocabulary, and shifting patterns of speech. Rather than viewing Midwestern English as a static or homogeneous dialect, the contributors demonstrate how linguistic variation reflects the movement of peoples, the influence of neighboring regions, and the ongoing transformation of American society. Drawing on research in dialect geography, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, and language variation studies, Heartland English offers valuable insights into the ways language both shapes and reflects regional identity. The collection examines how speakers perceive dialect differences, how those differences develop over time, and why the Midwest remains one of the most important regions for understanding the evolution of American English. As a landmark contribution to the study of language in North America, the book continues to serve as an essential resource for scholars investigating the relationship between language, culture, and place.A Publication in the Centennial Series of the American Dialect Society in celebration of the beginning of its second century of research into language variation in America. 328 pp. Englisch.
