Is American English in decline?
Are regional dialects dying out?
Is there a difference in how men
and women adapt to linguistic
variations?
These questions, and more, about
our language catapulted Robert
MacNeil and William
Cran—
the
authors (with Robert McCrum) of the
language classic The Story of English
—
across the country in search of the
answers. Do You Speak American? is the
tale of their discoveries, which provoca¬
tively show how the standard for American
English
—
if a standard exists
—
is chang¬
ing quickly and dramatically.
On a journey that takes them from
the Northeast, through Appalaehia and
the Deep South, and west to California,
the authors observe everyday verbal
interactions and in a host of interviews
with native speakers glean the linguistic
quirks and traditions characteristic of
each area. While examining the histories
and controversies surrounding both writ¬
ten and spoken American English, they
address anxieties and assumptions that,
when explored, are highly emotional,
such as the growing influence of Spanish
as a threat to American English and the
special treatment of African American
vernacular English. And, challenging the
purists who think grammatical stan¬
dards are in serious deterioration and
that media saturation of our culture is
homogenizing our speech, they surprise
us with unpredictable responses.
With insight and wit, MacNeil and
Cran
bring us a compelling book that is
at once a celebration and a potent study
of our singular language. |
