Using an ethnographic approach, the author explores how relationships of identity, language, and place emerged since the early 20th century to shape the idea, language, and regional identity of Yoopers (Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, or UP, dwellers), including the effects of sociocultural processes like immigration, tourism, and media representations, as well as social practices like identity, literacy, and language attitudes. She includes key linguistic features, but focuses on what makes a dialect a dialect, to show how the social history of the Upper Peninsula has shaped the dialect and regional identity, and how residents draw on a range of linguistic features to display this identity. She also considers economic practices that celebrate the dialect and reinforce stereotypes, and how people’s use of media plays a role in language attitudes, stereotypes, and linguistic prejudice.
