THIS PAPER RESPONDS TO T. K. Pratt's A Case for Direct Questioning in Traditional Fieldwork(American Speech 58 [1983]: 150-55). Pratt argues convincingly for specifically requesting, even suggesting, terms known to exist in local folk culture (specifically children's games on Prince Edward Island) that one suspects may be found in the community. To his argument I can add a corollary from my own fieldwork on the Island. In 1972, I observed in the …

Webster, Mencken, and Avis
In a modest way, I have something in common with Webster, Mencken, and Avis, the three spokesmen for linguistic autonomy whom I am discussing. True, St. Noah of Amherst ascended to that great lexicographical office in the sky fifty-eight years before I was born; and as varied as my dreaming has been, I have never dreamed of meeting him. Nevertheless, we share a common birthday, October 16; and in the line of duty, I have often been entangled with…

The data on the pronunciation of Maryland and Baltimore are derived from the 1216 field records made between 1933 and 1974 for the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States (Kurath et al. 1980-). That project extends the investigation of the Eastern Seaboard begun for the Linguistic Atlas of New England (Kurath et al. 1939-43) into 518 communities between the St. Lawrence River valley and northeastern Florida.1 As in New England, t…

South Carolina County Names
VARY, counties are found in almost every state, and the number of counties in most states is both large enough to be interesting and small enough to be comprehended in a study of modest size. 2 Other civil divisions, e.g., townships, hundreds, and magisterial districts, vary much more than counties in their relative stability and importance. The township is a highly conspicuous unit of civic autonomy in New England; in much of the S~uth it is an …

LIKE ANY OTHER GENTLEMAN brought up south of the Mason and Dixon Line, Thomas Pyles has long expressed amusementgenerally tolerant-at the anxiety of the socially insecure to achieve a correct pronunciation, and at the equal anxiety of the fuglemen and haruspices of the educational burrocracy to impose such allegedly desirable pronunciations upon the reluctant tenants of their classrooms. He knew, viscerally-long before he became a student under K…

Notes on the Pronunciation of Ohio
Francis Lee Utley deserves to be remembered among those who have contributed to our deeper understanding of variety in American English. He was a personal friend of Kurath and Marckwardt and others; he was an advisor and sometimes Dutch uncle to those of us struggling in the field in the decade following World War II; he took the initiative in finding funds for the field work in Ohio and Kentucky; 2 and in the last years of his life he was trying…

She grew up in Edgefield County, South Carolina, a meeting ground of three culturesplantation, small farming, and cotton mill -and often a bellwether in state politics. 2 As a graduate of Winthrop -the state college for women, founded shortly before she was born -she encountered students from all parts of South Carolina, with their sensibilities and prejudices. …

rrHE RELATIONSHIP between speech forms and the cultural configurations 1 and prestige values within a civilization has been indicated by linguistic scientists, but so far most of the study of that relationship has been directed toward languages outside the Indo-European family.2 It is, however, just as proper to utilize the data of linguistics, as derived from a study of dialects of our own language, in analyzing some of the problems within our o…
American Place Names
The celebrated author of Names on the Land has here collected the histories of some 12,000 place-names--including the names of many notable places, chief rivers, cities, and states, as well as those that have special historical significance and that reflect early customs and dialects. The culmination of a lifetime of investigation, this book provides the linguistic meaning and derivation of each name, and often such information as the date and oc…

The Relationship of the Speech of American Negroes to the Speech of Whites
ALMOST without exception, any scholar studying American Negro speech, whether as an end in itself or as part of a larger project, must dispose of two widely held superstitions: (1) he must indicate that there is no speech form identifiable as of Negro origin solely on the basis of Negro physical characteristics; (2) he must show that it is probable that some speech forms of Negroes-and even of some whites-may be derived from an African cultural b…

Grammatical Differences in the North Central States
D ESCRIPTIVE LINGUISTICS, in its broadest aspects, tells us not only what forms occur and in what combinations, but also in what parts of the linguistic community and in the speech or writing of what social groups particular variants may be found.x By examining these regional and social differences within the generally uniform structure of a language, dialectologists are able to correlate linguistic data with patterns of settlement history, regio…

H before Semivowels in the Eastern United States
Linguistic geography may simply present the facts about a linguistic detail on which there has been speculation; it may enable a speaker to judge the social acceptability of a linguistic form on the basis of usage rather than prejudice; or it may throw light on the history of the language, and suggest the forces that have led to the prestige of linguistic forms. Conclusions of all these types can be drawn from an examination of the occurrence or …
Midland and Canadian Words in Upstate New York
T HE STUDENT of dialect geography is interested not only in indicating the major dialect divisions within a speech community, but in interpreting apparent exceptions to the major patterns. Moreover, when two major dialect types have been found separated by a rather sharp boundary, it is important to examine just what speech forms have crossed that boundary, and to discover or suggest the reasons. This paper is concerned with the extent to which t…
Aphaeresis in New England
ARECENT ARTICLE appearing in this journall discusses the occurrence and form of APHAERESIS in ordinary American-English conversation. Although Kypriotaki's claims appear to be substantially correct,2 they are unsupported by systematic data. This paper reports evidence of aphaeresis in New England, as documented in the Linguistic Atlas of New England.3 The authors take this opportunity to demonstrate the potential of the Atlas, and other resources…

Students of dialect geography recognize, in general, three types of speechareas. A FOCAL AREA is one whose economic, cultural, or political prestige has caused its speech-forms to spread into surrounding areas. A RELIC AREA is one whose geographic or cultural isolation has permitted the preservation of older forms that have been lost elsewhere and has prevented the spread of local terms. A TRANSITION AREA is one which has undergone influence from…

AS ONE of the younger branches of linguistic science, dialect geography has provided valuable evidence by which the student of languages can explain the apparent exceptions to phonetic laws or indicate the directions in which phonetic, grammatical, or lexical innovations have spread. To the social scientist, for whom linguistics is properly a branch of cultural anthropology, dialect geography is potentially a very useful tool for examining the cu…

T HE CADET vernacular at The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, exhibits several features of interest.

The Citadel is located in Charleston, but cadets …
