Description

Explore the complex relationship between race-consciousness and the evolution of American English. This scholarly work examines how pronunciation standards and linguistic ideologies developed throughout the twentieth century. By investigating the discourses of prescriptivist pronunciation, the text reveals how social processes shaped the way speech is perceived and valued in the United States. This study provides a deep look into the historical context of language standardization. It examines how xenophobic reactions to immigration in eastern metropolises, particularly New York, combined with the closing of the western frontier to create a specific image of the American West and Midwest. These regions became viewed as the central locations for proper speech and ethnicity. Designed for academic rigor, this volume is a valuable resource for researchers and students across multiple disciplines. It serves those focusing on linguistics, American studies, cultural studies, and Jewish studies. This book offers a detailed analysis of how language, power, and social processes connect to form the foundations of modern American identity.
