Speaking American: How Y'all, Youse, and You Guys Talk by Josh Katz, 203 pagesKathleen wrote an excellent description of this fun, info-filled book here, so I won't expand too much. But I will say that this explains so many of the pronunciation discrepancies between my husband (a lifelong St. Louisan) and me (I grew up in Kansas and Montana). Illuminating and fun.
