I'm answering this on the list instead of directly in case there are

other newcomers. As the welcome message says, the purpose of this list

is to serve as a forum for the exchange of information and ideas by

members of the American Dialect Society. Although outsiders are welcome

here, there is no reason for a FAQ file since most of the people on this

list are active dialectologists/sociolinguistics and don't have the kinds

of questions that usually show up in FAQ files.



For more information, look at the ADS web pages (http://www.msstate.edu/

Archives/ADS/), gopher space (gopher.msstate.edu), or ftp files (ftp.msstate.

edu/pub/archives/ADS).
