Linguists William Labov, Sharon Ash and Charles Boberg made such a map for the groundbreaking Atlas of North American English. Published last month, the massive book comes with a multimedia CD-ROM. <br> <br>Atlas of North American English: Phonetics, Phonology, and Sound Change (Mouton de Gruyter, 320 pages, $620). <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/features/orl-dialect06jan20,0,6930749.story?coll=orl-shopping-headlines " target="blank">www.orlandosentinel.com/features/orl-dialect06jan20,0,6930749.story?coll=orl-shopping-headlines </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
