Charles Boberg is a researcher and educator in the field of sociolinguistics, specializing in language variation and change, dialectology, and North American English. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania under seminal sociolinguist William Labov, and is one of the major contributors to the Atlas of North American English, along with Labov and Sharon Ash. His ongoing research primarily uses acoustic phonetics to analyze differences in the sound patterns of English spoken in North America, and has led to a greater understanding of regional dialects, including those of Western American English, New England English, and Canadian English, often specifically as it's spoken in Montreal. Boberg is an enthusiastic supporter of the uniqueness of Canadian English, and has been consulted on matters of national security because of his expertise with identifying regional accent and vocabulary patterns. He is currently Associate Professor of Linguistics at McGill University. == Publications == Charles Boberg has contributed to and been an editor for numerous journals, books, and conference proceedings in the field.
