Description:
"This immensely entertaining and colorful presentation of American dialects as they are spoken today celebrates the great cultural diversity of the nation. Drawing upon an impressive array of scholarly research, and relying, too, on what his own remarkably receptive ears have heard, wordsmith Robert Hendrickson reminds us that there is no such thing as a "standard" American speech that must be aspired to by all citizens."--Book jacket.
