labov   Linguist William Labov talks about language change

On April 04 (2007), Labov introduced his latest creation in the dialects of American English, which maps out regions of similar speech patterns in the U.S. His study included comparisons of how English is spoken in the south, New York, and Chicago.

See the audience shocked to realize they misunderstand fellow English speakers: buses? black? what?
