become American? What
distinctive qualities made it American?
What role have America s democratizing
impulses, and its vibrantly heterogeneous
speakers, played in shaping our language
and separating it from the mother tongue?
A wide-ranging account of American
English, Richard Bailey s Speaking American
investigates the history and continuing
evolution of our language from the sixteenth
century to the present. The book is
organized in half-century segments around
influential centers: Chesapeake Bay
(1600-
1650),
Boston
(1650-1700),
Charleston
(1700-1750),
Philadelphia
(1750-1800),
New
Orleans
(1800-1850),
New York
(1850-1900),
Chicago
(1900-1950),
Los Angeles
(1950-
2000),
and Cyberspace (2000-present).
Each of these places has added new words,
new inflections, new ways of speaking
to the elusive, boisterous, ever-changing
linguistic experiment that is American
English. Freed from British constraints of
unity and propriety, swept up in rapid social
change, restless movement, and a thirst for
innovation, Americans have always been
eager to invent new words, from earthy
frontier expressions like catawampously
(vigorously) and bung-nipper (pickpocket),
to West African words introduced by slaves
such as goober (peanut) and gumbo
(okra),
to urban slang such as tagging (spraying
graffiti) and crew (gang). Throughout,
Bailey focuses on how people speak and
how speakers change the language. The
book is filled with transcripts of arresting
voices, precisely situated in time and
space: two justices of the peace sitting
in a pumpkin patch trying an Indian for
theft; a crowd of Africans lounging on the
waterfront in Philadelphia discussing the
newly independent nation in their home
languages; a Chicago gangster complaining
that his pocket had been picked; Valley Girls
chattering; Crips and Bloods negotiating
their gang identities in LA; and more.
Speaking American explores—and
celebrates—the endless variety and
remarkable inventiveness that have always
been at the heart of American English.
