Administrative History

Fifty-seven Oklahomans were recorded for the Linguistic Atlas of Oklahoma (LAO) between 1959-1963. The LAO's Director was William R. Van Riper, with later work being completed by Raven I. McDavid, Jr., Bruce Southard, and Dennis Preston.

The LAO is a part of The Linguistic Atlas Project (LAP), which began in 1929. The LAP "consists of a set of survey research projects about the words and pronunciation of everyday American English, the largest project of its kind in the country." More information about the LAP can be found on their website.
