Bill Labov, extraordinary sociolinguist, just passed away. He brought "to linguistics ... the belief that working class people have a lot to say, and that there is such a thing as being right or being wrong." #Labov #BillLabov #Sociolinguistics

I've taught Labov's landmark studies in almost every single one of my courses, whether they are sociolinguistics courses or not. His legacy of contributions to linguistics and language studies is extraordinary. Rest in peace, #BillLabov.
