In this class our focus lies on the US-American South and its language. While many people know that English in the US is predominantly rhotic this has not always been the case. We will look at the (non-)realization of <r> in the South opposed to the North, which includes the settlement patterns along the eastern seaboard. Some of you may think, for example, that the English spoken in the US is relatively homogenous save for some ethnolects. But the varieties in the South differ remarkably not only from those of the rest of the country but also within the South itself. We will look at the varieties (both based on pronunciation and grammar) present in the South and the isoglosses separating them as well as at attitudes towards Southern American English.
