American Linguistic Association

The American Dialect Society (ADS) is a professional organization dedicated to the study and analysis of language variations, dialects, and linguistic patterns across the United States and North America. It brings together linguists, researchers, and language enthusiasts to share research, identify language trends, and promote understanding of linguistic diversity. The ADS conducts conferences, publishes scholarly work, and encourages discussions on how language evolves and reflects social and cultural changes. Its goal is to better understand the complexities of American English and regional language differences within a scholarly framework.
