Chapter 11 | Enhancements

11.1

See Walt Wolfram’s interview about Ocracoke English on CBS This Morning

---

11.2

A “lesson” on talking like a newscaster, complete with “advice” on accent reduction

---

11.3

A clip from the classic “I Love Lucy” television series on “perfect English.” Why are Lucy’s elevated language usages in this clip amusing? What do you think of her attitude toward Ricky’s Latino‐accented English? Is Ricky’s Latino English being mocked, or does it serve to mock those who might mock it? (Compare comedian Margaret Cho’s mock Korean English, discussed in Chapter 7).
