This short paper is a slightly enlarged version of a presentation given at ICSLP4, the Fourth International Conference on Spoken Language Processing at Philadelphia, October 6, 1996. This is the first of a series of reports to the speech recognition industry on the present state of sound changes in the United States. It was not included in the Proceedings of the conference since the central data is conveyed in a series of maps of the United States in 8-bit color which could not be accommodated in that publication. In response to a number of requests, it is here made available on the home page of the Phonological Atlas of North America.

This file lists e-mail distribution lists devoted primarily to the linguistic study of individual languages and groups of languages (though a couple of others, in particular lists for language learners, have been included as well). In the listing below, the name of the list is given in capital letters inside parentheses. When you subscribe, you will receive instructions on how to contribute to the list, and on how to remove your name from the subscription list (usually: SIGNOFF ; UNSUBSCRIBE works too). The materials you will receive include instructions for getting more detailed descriptions of particular sets of electronic conferences (e.g. LANGUAGES, LINGUISTICS). Those interested in contacting speakers of languages (not necessarily linguists) should also consider contacting the appropriate soc.culture list (e.g. soc.culture.polish ).

Although many people refer to this variety as "Ebonics", most linguists prefer the term African American English (AAE) or or African American Vernacular English (AAVE). This term serves to place AAVE in the context of the many regional, national, and sociocultural forms of English such as Southern English, British English, Cajun English, and so forth; it also avoids the strong emotions and misunderstandings sometimes associated with the term Ebonics. AAVE has been an important topic of discussion among linguists and the public for almost a half-century now, and is often discussed in sociolinguistics courses. Here, LINGUIST provides a central location for academic resources regarding AAVE for both academia and the public.
