Exploring Intertextuality in the Sociolinguistic Interview
Despite the pervasiveness of theories of language in which memorized lists of particular forms (i.e., the lexicon) play a small role compared to abstract rules for generating phonological and morphosyntactic structures (i.e., the grammar), a number of researchers maintain that memorized, and quite concrete, forms play a far greater role in language creation than typically assumed. For example, Chafe (1968,1970), Fillmore et al. (1988), and Jacken…

Investigating intra-ethnic differentiation
This article demonstrates the importance of investigating language variation and change both within and across ethnic groups, especially those that have been relatively insular historically. The focus is on the variable patterning of /ay/ in the variety of English spoken by the Lumbee Indians in tri-ethnic Robeson County, North Carolina. (The Lumbee refer to themselves as “Indians” rather than “Native Americans”; I use their term when referring t…

Alternative Models of Dialect Death
The comparison of the moribund dialects of Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, and Smith Island, Maryland, demonstrates that valuable insight into the patterning of variation and change in language death can be obtained by investigating moribund varieties of healthy languages. In addition, it is crucial to investigate not only cases of death by linguistic decay (dissipation), but also cases of death by population attrition in which linguistic distin…

Investigating "self-conscious" speech
This article examines PERFORMANCE SPEECH in the historically isolated island community of Ocracoke, North Carolina. Over the past several decades islanders have come into increasingly frequent contact with tourists and new residents, who often comment on the island's "quaint" relic dialect. In response, some Ocracokers have developed performance phrases that highlight island features, particularly the pronunciation of/ay/ with a raised/backed nuc…
Accommodation versus Concentration
Dans le but de degager les processus generaux qui conduisent a la disparition d'un dialecte, l'A. analyse deux situations sociolinguistiques particulieres : celles de deux communautes insulaires du sud-est des Etats-Unis. Elle compare les traits morphosyntaxiques et phonologiques des deux dialectes en question (Ile Smith et Ocracoke), ainsi que des traits synchroniques et diachroniques qui permettent d'expliquer le declin de ces langues
Extending Our Understanding of the /z/ -> [d] Rule
L'A. propose une etude quantitative et synchronique de la regle de variation de /z/ → [d] dans l'anglais dialectal des Etats Unis du sud. Son analyse ne se situe pas strictement dans le cadre de la phonologie lineaire, mais tient compte egalement de la structure syllabique
Moribund Dialects and the Endangerment Canon
Moribund dialects threatened by the encroachment of healthy varieties of the same language have been overlooked in establishing the language endangerment canon. Endangered varieties of languages as safe as even English exhibit structures not found in mainstream language varieties and so are an invaluable resource to scholars of language variation—and, indeed, of language patterning in general. Further, the insights into language variation and cha…
Convergent explanation and alternative regularization patterns
Although the process of analogical leveling seems relatively straightforward and its directionality readily predictable, the existence of cross-dialectal leveling alternatives suggests that the processes that actuate and embed analogical leveling can actually be quite complex. Using the case of a vernacular variety spoken on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, we demonstrate how linguistic-systemic principles such as remorphologization, psycholing…
