Description

"The Dictionary of Southern Appalachian English is a revised and expanded edition of the Weatherford Award-winning Dictionary of Smoky Mountain English, published in 2005 and known in Appalachian studies circles as the most comprehensive reference work dedicated to Appalachian vernacular and linguistic practice. Editors Michael B. Montgomery and Jennifer K.N. Heinmiller document the variety of English used in parts of eight states, ranging from West Virginia to Georgia-an expansion of the first edition's geography, which was limited primarily to North Carolina and Tennessee-and include over 10,000 entries drawn from over 2,200 sources"
