Joan Houston Hall is Distinguished Scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She joined the DARE staff in 1975, became Associate Editor in 1979, and was named Chief Editor in 2000.
Fans of the long-running project to create the Dictionary of
American Regional English (DARE) have much to cheer and to
consider. To cheer: this sixth volume follows its predecessor after
only one year, and the work as a whole won this year's Dartmouth
Award for outstanding reference source. To consider: a digital
version is slated for launch later this year...This thorough,
fascinating work of scholarship is highly recommended for serious
language students.
