Michael,
Congratulations. The topic of sociolinguistics reminds me of
a comment by Frank Anshen, a linguist who was visiting the U.
of Hawaii, where he taught a course on sociolinguistics.
At one point, Frank was talking about ethnic slurs, which
usually contain guttural sounds with Ks and Gs.
Finally seeing the word's spelling helps. I used to know a pale, blonde
woman who as a girl lived for some years in Hawaii and hung out with the
local indigenous, and she told me that they called whites what sounded
like "hollies" to me, and I just couldn't get the word right. It always
struck
