 @article{wolfram_rick_forrest_fox_2016, title={THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LINGUISTIC VARIATION IN THE SPEECHES OF REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.}, volume={91}, ISSN={["1527-2133"]}, DOI={10.1215/00031283-3701015}, abstractNote={Although Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s eloquence as a speaker is widely recognized and his rhetorical strategies have been extensively studied, no analyses have been conducted on his language variation in different speech settings. This article examines a set of variable structures in King's speech to determine how it indexes his regional, social, and ethnic identity as he accommodated different audiences and interactions. The use of unstressed (ING), medial and final /t/ release, postvocalic nonrhoticity, coda-final cluster reduction, copula/auxiliary absence, the vowel system, and syllable timing are considered for four different speech events: the “I Have a Dream” speech (1963), the Nobel Prize acceptance speech (1964), a conversation with talk-show host Merv Griffin (1967), and the “I've Been to the Mountaintop” speech (1968). The analysis indicates stability across speech events for some variables and significant variation for others based on the speech event. His indexical profile indicates that he consistently embodied his Southern-based, African American preacherly stance while fluidly shifting features that indexed performance and formality based on audience, interaction, and intentional purpose. His language embraced ethnolinguistic tradition and transcended linguistic diversity, modeling linguistic equality in practice.}, number={3}, journal={AMERICAN SPEECH}, author={Wolfram, Walt and Rick, Caroline My and Forrest, Jon and Fox, Michael J.}, year={2016}, month={Aug}, pages={269–300} }
 @article{myrick_2014, title={Putting Saban English on the map A descriptive analysis of English language variation on Saba}, volume={35}, ISSN={["1569-9730"]}, DOI={10.1075/eww.35.2.02myr}, abstractNote={Small Caribbean islands offer a unique venue for examining principles of language contact and sociolinguistic variation. Only recently, however, has the use of acoustics-based analysis been incorporated as a tool for the phonological description and analysis of Caribbean varieties. This study offers the first empirical description and analysis of the English spoken on the island of Saba, a Dutch municipality located in the Eastern Caribbean. Data come from 22 sociolinguistic interviews with long-term residents conducted on Saba in 2012. Phonological and morphosyntactic features are analyzed with respect to the interrelationship between effects from community, ethnicity, and generation. Overall, this study contributes to the important process of phonological and morphosyntactic documentation of lesser-known Caribbean varieties, highlighting the usefulness of acoustics-based and statistical analyses in such processes.}, number={2}, journal={ENGLISH WORLD-WIDE}, author={Myrick, Caroline}, year={2014}, pages={161–192} }
