The site for information about American English.

We offer information about English as it is spoken in the United States. Most of the projects included here present the results of survey research carried out between 1930 and 1980; some are more recent. Click the Atlas Projects link to the left for more information.

Once housed at the University of Georgia, LAP now resides principally at the University of Kentucky.
