Chapter 7 presents the implications of the study on a larger scale. It argues that the study not only shows an interesting gender pattern such that not only females are the agents of change but, rather, everyone but White males are agents of the change. This has implications for the entire gender-in-language-change paradigm. It could mean that the gender patterns developed byLabov misrepresent how gender identification influences language change and that an entirely new model needs to be developed when more social complexity is included in studies of language change. It further addresses the need for larger, more diverse datasets and perception experiments to investigate the possibility of a local social meaning of this widespread variant.
