This project investigates the questions of whether urbanization                 leads to linguistic convergence or divergence, whether it affects               all social groups in the same way, and whether it leads to the                  loss, maintenance, or reanalysis of rural dialect features.                     Moreover, it asks whether language change (specifically                         grammatical change) requires language contact or whether it can                 take place in situations of insularity and isolation, and if so,                how such changes can be spread.  The study is based on interview                material recorded in four communities in Texas: a large                         metropolitan area, a medium-sized city, a small town, and a rural               village; and involves analysis of a number of features that                     correlated with rural/urban residence study in a pilot study.
