The pictured T-shirt is red with a picture of Bill Labov and the words ¡Viva la variación!
Wore this #Labov shirt today to teach about The New York City social dialect study--then took this pic in my office on the 4th floor 😀 #sociolinguistics #legend #nwav

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

"Whatever direction linguistics may take, I hope that more and more linguists will engage with the social issues that spring from linguistic diversity." -- William Labov (2016: 596)

Strange to not have any #Labov quotes to share that I find poignant despite being the giant of #sociolinguistics and despite how much of his work I've read. He always struck me as a workhorse with a lot of interesting method ideas but not someone terribly concerned with #socialtheory where […]

Ha muerto Bill #Labov a los 97. Su ensoñamiento diurno favorito decía era imaginar a la gente aprendiendo algo suyo en una biblioteca lejana de la misma forma que él lo hacía de otras personas.
De él aprendí que la evaluación sería el medio principal del discurso. Gracias a ella que el narrador […]

Adiós al gran William #Labov
Gracias por demostrar ante tribunal que el inglés hablado por los niños negros en EEUU no es mal hablado ni degenerado, ni mucho menos prueba de un intelecto limitado, sino que sigue su propia gramática, que nada hace […]

Adiós al gran sociolingüistta William #Labov.
Gracias por demostrar ante tribunal que el inglés hablado por los niños negros en EEUU no es malo ni degenerado, ni mucho menos prueba de un intelecto limitado, sino que sigue su propia gramática, en nada objetivamente inferior a la del inglés estándar.

This is so sad. An immense loss for all of us sociolinguists. 😞 So much of his work was groundbreaking and became basic knowledge in the field.
May the fourth floor be light on him.

Screenshot of a post by linguist Walt Wolfram. White text on a magenta background that says "Bill Labov died this morning with Gillian by his side. The best linguist of our generation! A GIANT!"
Very sad news, but what a long, accomplished, and inspiring life Bill Labov lead! None of us would be sociolinguists without him. May his memory be for a blessing. #linguistics #Labov
