  • description: Today, I'm remembering Bill Labov, the founder of sociolinguistics, and the linguist who may have had the largest impact of anybody in the 20th century. If you're into sociolinguistics, dialects, regional variation, slang, story-telling, narrative, identity construction or any of a whole slew of other topics, his work is unavoidable and indispensable. patreon: www.patreon.com/languagejones Books by or about Bill Labov: Labov: A guide for the Perplexed: https://amzn.to/40nQUCF The Social Stratification of R in New York City English: https://amzn.to/4j5xmu9 Language in the Inner City: https://amzn.to/4gCExbz Principles of Linguistic Change: https://amzn.to/4gXWLEo The Language of Life and Death: The Transformation of Experience in Oral Narrative: https://amzn.to/3PugZKa My "controversial" papers: Talmbout: an overlooked verb of quotation: https://repository.upenn.edu/bitstreams/e31c699f-99e4-48e6-a18f-11676e4c19b8/download Grammatical Reanalysis and the Multiple N-Words in African American English: https://read.dukeupress.edu/american-speech/article-abstract/94/4/478/139032/Grammatical-Reanalysis-and-the-Multiple-N-Words-in free preprint here: https://www.languagejones.com/s/Nwords2019_FinalSubmission-11-56-28-298.pdf Testifying While Black: An experimental study of court reporter accuracy in transcription of African American English: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Taylor-Jones-13/publication/333390830_Testifying_while_black_An_experimental_study_of_court_reporter_accuracy_in_transcription_of_African_American_English/links/5dd31016299bf1b74b4e2440/Testifying-while-black-An-experimental-study-of-court-reporter-accuracy-in-transcription-of-African-American-English.pdf Edited with Gling AI: https://bit.ly/46bGeYv
