| HUES |
| | This program of research seeks to identify the ways in which Houstonians divide themselves into various social groupings, based in linguistic varieties. We have examined the language landscape to date by looking at region, gender, ethnicity, and age. Houston's a great city for this, because of its size, diversity, and dialect location, spanning as it does the Southern and Western regions of the US. |
| |
| HUES (Houston Urban English Study) |
| | This is an on-going project researching the complex and rich dialectal variation in Houston Texas |
