March special: save 20% on all DARE volumes at http://www.hup.harvard.edu/features/dare/

Contradicting the popular notion that American English has become homogenized, the Dictionary of American Regional English demonstrates that our language still has distinct and delightful local character. With the arrival of Volume V, readers now have the full panoply of American regional vocabulary, from Adam's housecat to Zydeco.

In this video, DARE Chief Editor Joan Houston Hall and Wordnik Founder Erin McKean explain the history and significance of this authoritative record of American English. To read more about DARE, visit http://www.hup.harvard.edu/features/dare/
