  I forgot to mention two more series of audiotapes that shouldn't be
  missed: One accompanies Shopen and Williams' _Standards and Dialects in
  English_ (year?), chapters 7 & 8; it includes lengthy excerpts from the
  early CAL tapes of Black English-speaking kids and is esp. good in its
  representation of style-shifting by the kids. It also has upper-class
  NYC speech (eschewed by Labov) and two wonderful stories told by older
  Appalachian English speakers (and authentic, according to my regional
  students).

  The second series is of course the OSU Language Files tapes, esp. (for
  your course) three: one on varied regional pronunciations, a matched
  guise test of black and white varieties of Am.Eng., and a collection of
  Gullah ("Uncle Remus") tales (with "sounding" examples on the back).
