A Rural/Metropolitan Split in the Speech of Texas Anglos.
Thomas, Erik R.
Language Variation and Change, v9 n3 p309-32 1997
Texas migration patterns have split the Anglo population into rural and metropolitan dialects. Evidence from a random-sample survey of Texas and state survey of high schools show young rural Anglos preserve two stereotypical features not found in urban Anglo speech. The difference, absent among adults, suggests in-migration from other parts of the country is concentrated in metropolitan centers. (Author/MSE)
