So, you want to do sociolinguistics?
(and if not, fin d out about it)

In this t alk, I talk about what sociolinguists do by discussing research insights from the Ontario Dialects Project. In this research program, I have bee n documenting ways of speaking in Ontario, Canada for nearly 20 years. A s of 2020, the archive comprises 19 communities with representation from the largest city, Toronto to many localities in the Near North (e.g. Ta gliamonte, 2013; 2014a). In addition to the intrinsic contribution of th ese corpora to dialect documentation, this research provides explicit ev idence for language innovation and obsolescence, contact, koenization, d ialect levelling and can even have significance outside of Linguistics ( history, cultural studies, contemporary literature). By reviewing the pr ocedures, practicalities, and products of this large-scale sociolinguist ic enterprise (Tagliamonte, 2007), I hope to show how community-based re search can lead to new insights into social and linguistic patterns and thereby more integrated explanations. It can also lead to rich and acces sible language materials that are not only of use to linguists but also to the broader population where there is an abiding interest in colourfu l words and expressions.
