Rezensionen

This book provides an excellent overview of the field of what is commonly known as 'perceptual linguistics' or 'folk linguistics', bringing together theoretical issues from different related fields as well as covering all relevant empirical and methodological aspects.

Philipp Stöckle, Austrian Academy of Sciences

This book not only summarizes previous work on the field but also makes an important contribution by commenting upon US perceptions of the American South in a well-grounded expository manner, to raise awareness and promote the acceptability of different manners of speaking.

Clara Cantos Delgado, Department of English Studies, Complutense University of Madrid
