Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an overview of the emerging dialect of rural Southern Hispanic English. Siler City, North Carolina is the focus. The study examines the turbulent history of race relations in the area (including the February 2000 David Duke rally), and also provides a detailed account of race relations in 2002. The analysis focuses on the speech of 8 to 18-year-olds of Mexican decent of varying lengths of residency in the United States. Most children, even those born in the US, exhibit substantial Spanish transfer. Unglided /aI/ is used as an indicator of any local dialect (White or Black). Various speakers' /aI/ glides are measured, plotted, and juxtaposed with speakers' orientation toward the local culture. As corroborated by the non-Southern production of /aI/ among the majority of speakers, most Hispanics in Siler City are by and large not interacting with local Whites and Blacks more than absolutely necessary. There are a couple of notable exceptions, however, which are discussed in detail.

Book excerpt: Are you considered a "dingbatter," or outsider, when you visit the Outer Banks? Have you ever noticed a picture in your house hanging a little "sigogglin," or crooked? Do you enjoy spending time with your "buddyrow," or close friend? Drawing on over two decades of research and 3,000 recorded interviews from every corner of the state, Walt Wolfram and Jeffrey Reaser's lively book introduces readers to the unique regional, social, and ethnic dialects of North Carolina, as well as its major languages, including American Indian languages and Spanish. Considering how we speak as a reflection of our past and present, Wolfram and Reaser show how languages and dialects are a fascinating way to understand our state's rich and diverse cultural heritage. The book is enhanced by maps and illustrations and augmented by more than 100 audio and video recordings, which can be found online at talkintarheel.com.
