VARIETIES OF AMERICAN ENGLISH is intended to supplement the three-part videocassette series Varieties of American English, which consists of (1) Regional Dialects, (2) Social and Specialized Groups and (3) Stylistic Differences. This handbook has been prepared primarily for teacher trainers who have selected this video for use in seminar, workshop, or classroom presentation. Its independent use by teachers of English, advanced learners of English, and even linguists, sociolinguists and dialectologists is not precluded. An accompanying audiocassette repeats examples from the videos and provides further samples for analysis.
