Gare à la dictature du Bien... Une menace nouvelle plane aujourd'hui sur notre société : celle venant d'individus qui, rêvant d'une société plus juste, appellent à la censure " pour le bien de tous ". Cette forme inédite d'autoritarisme prône ainsi la mise au ban ou l'interdiction pure et simple des idées qu'elle ne partage pas, et perçoit le langage même comme un danger potentiel qu'il est nécessaire de corriger. Les bonnes intentions flirtent ainsi dangereusement avec le totalitarisme : cancel culture, complaisance des médias, limitation du discours public par les géants de la Silicon Valley, législation d'Etat sur les discours " haineux ", etc. Une dictature du " Bien " reste une dictature. Qui aurait pensé, il y a quelques années seulement, que défendre la liberté d'expression, seul rempart efficace contre la tyrannie, suffirait à se faire qualifier de réactionnaire ? Nous en sommes pourtant là. En ce temps de refus du débat et de bannissement des opinions " contestables ", Andrew Doyle nous livre une analyse d'une incroyable pertinence sur ce phénomène nouveau et terrifiant. Comédien, dramaturge, journaliste, satiriste politique, Andrew Doyle sévit brillamment dans la presse anglaise. Il tient par ailleurs un compte Twitter parodique lesté de plus de 600 000 abonnés - celui de Titania McGrath, " poète intersectionnelle radicale et écosexuelle non blanche ".

East Tennessee Folk Speech
Based on the Idiolect Synopses of the basic materials of the linguistic atlas of the gulf states, this summary offers the first interpretation of evidence gathered in southeastern United States, 1968-80. The phonological, morphological and lexical data outlines a principal source of the speech of the Upper South. Although primarily a South Midland dialect, East Tennessee folk speech shows a complex regional and social structure that includes relics and innovations with patterns that distinguish this subregion from the dominant forms of American English spoken in the South and elsewhere.

Towards a Cross-Linguisitic Assessment of Speech Production
The contributions to this volume by H.W. Dechert, A.K. Fathman, F. Grosjean, D.C. O'Connell, M. Raupach, K. Sajavaara/J. Lehtonen, H.W. Seliger and R. Wiese all deal with speech data from native speakers of different languages, or native speakers and language learners of the same language, or speakers in their native and their second languages. They are the results of various methodological attempts to assess speech using a cross-linguistic approach and represent an area of research which may be called "Contrastive Psycholinguistics".

Black and White Speech in the Southern United States
This study compares the pronunciation of the stressed vowel nuclei of black and white southerners interviewed for the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States. The informants from Maryland (two pairs), Virginia (seven pairs), and North Carolina (seven pairs), were all interviewed in the period 1933-1939 by a single field worker, Guy S. Lowman, Jr., and were matched as closely as possible for age, education, social class, and geographical proximity. The principal findings of the study are that systematic differences exist between black and white speakers in the pronunciation of the stressed vowels, on the phonic or subphonemic level. This is the same type of variation that is used to characterize dialect differences in the United States. The differences in speech, however, while systematic, are not categorical : i.e., there are no speech features examined that exist solely for black or white speakers. Another finding was that regional variation in speech was less apparent for black speakers than for white speakers.

Metaphonology of English Paronomasic Puns
In this book English heterophonous/paronomasic/puns are investigated from a metaphonological perspective. I look into the ways and methods of native speakers' self-conscious metalinguistic manipulation of their phonological system/s/, as exemplified in punning. A phonostatistic analysis of nearly 4000 English puns is attempted in testing a hypothesis that the phonological representations accessed and generated in punning are significantly different from those used in 'ordinary' speech encoding. Comparisons are carried out against phoneme frequency distributions of running speech and those of spontaneous errors.In speech play, competence mechanisms are accessed which differ from structural competence à la Chomsky.

Acoustic Variability and its Perception
The starting point for the experimental investigation reported in this work is the observation that linguistic units (words, phonemes) do not have an acoustic invariance in the continuous speech. Moreover the a acoustic perception of a word or a phoneme depends on the context in which it is spoken. The experiments were designed to elucidate the interaction of word and context by examining the ways in which context affects the acoustic shape of a given word, as well as the role of context in word perception. The ultimate aim is to throw light on the mechanisms involved in the perception of continuous speech.
