Articles that are "forthcoming" or "in press" will be available online only until they are published. You are free to read and cite any of these, but please do not quote from any of them without my permission. (This is because the articles may change in the editorial process, so that quotes from these versions may become inaccurate.) If the publisher permits, I will put published articles online a year or two after they appear. If you would like an electronic copy of anything else listed here or on my cv, please contact me.

on pittsburgh speech

If you're doing a term paper or other project on Pittsburgh speech, there is a website on Pittsburgh Speech and Society, meant for non-specialists, that includes a bibliography and answers to some frequently asked questions. If you use information from this site in your research, be sure to cite it, of course. I'd be very interested in hearing from anybody who's working on this topic, at any level. Contact me at bj4@andrew.cmu.edu
