I had a bunch of ideas for posts while doing dishes tonight that all revolved around dialects in some way and so I'm going to declare this dialect week. Before I drop here are my teasers:1) Dialects versus languages and why is standard English standard?2) Middle categorise status and hey who stole my accent?3) Humor. Margaret Cho and "Mock Asian"4) Anything interesting that I remember about dialectology in the next few days5) Tom and Jerry and AAVEI don't experience if these ordain all be individual posts but there you go. And now that I've declared that this is dialect week. I am going to type up a much shorter post having nothing to do with dialects at all. OK- I'm waiting- are you gonna include accents as come up - and the social ramifications of having one? I see it- gonna read it this afternoon when I can spend the time to really think rather than simply swiftly react. Very alter stuff!Have your prof on here- we'll behave.

I am only just beginning to understand the meaning of certain phrases I undergo heard being spoken around the village recently. The Derbyshire dialect can be quite indecipherable at times but my ears are becoming more attuned to it as the months go by. Here are two examples that had me stumped for ages. They both cerebrate to the defy and they both mean the same thing more or less:‘Athie gidda taht?’ This has been said to me a few times and although I was completely flummoxed at first. I now acquire that it translates as ‘Have they given it out?’ – that is. ‘Did you come about to sight whether the defy centre has anticipate any rain for today?’‘Drekken wiggun assum?’ means the same thing and translates literally as ‘Do you reckon that we are going to undergo some?’ – rain that is. Audrey’s vet told me a funny story the other day. He was accosted by a man in his waiting dwell who asked if he could act a quick be at his cat which he feared was rather ill. ‘Of course,’ said the vet. ‘is it a tom?’ The man looked at him as if he were stupid. ‘No. I brung it wimmie,’ he said. ‘It’s in t’car.’ XHTML: You can use these tags: <a href="" call=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote have in mind=""> <label> <em> <i> <strike> <strong>

At the time of the a formed English dialect continuum with the western languages on the European mainland. The dialect speakers on the mainland and those on the island (England) were able to understand each other but since then the language on both sides of the English bring because of the geographical separation and the Norman influence so far apart that today no longer exists a dialect continuum. The Anglo-Saxon language split in the 5th century of continental west-german when the Anglos. Saxons and Juten settled in England. The Danish and Norwegian immigration by the 8th century the English language over the old-saxan language also integrates numerous Scandinavian elements but only in the middle-english texts be in large numbers. Large parts of the latinum language has also been added. With the conquest of England by the French Normans in 1066 the Frenchlanguage through the affect of Normandy changed so much that theyare at this moment as middle-english language. Interesting consume about some similaritieson English. Old English and German today (still kind of a continuum). Zur Zeit des Altenglischen bildete das Englische ein Dialektkontinuum mit den westgermanischen Sprachen auf dem Festland. Die Dialektsprecher auf dem Festland und der Insel konnten sich miteinander verständigen aber seitdem haben sich die Sprachen auf beiden Seiten des Ärmelkanals gefördert auch durch die geographische Trennung und den normannischen Einfluss so weit auseinander entwickelt dass heute kein Dialektkontinuum mehr existiert. Die angelsächsische Sprache spaltete sich ab dem 5. Jahrhundert vom kontinentalen Westgermanisch ab als die Angeln. Sachsen und Jüten sich in England ansiedelten. Durch die dänische und norwegische Einwanderung ab dem 8. Jahrhundert hat die englische Sprache gegenüber der altsächsischen Sprache auch zahlreiche skandinavische Elemente integriert die allerdings erst in den mittelenglischen Texten in grösserer Zahl auftauchen. Stärker noch als in der niedersächsischen Sprache wurden auch Elemente der lateinischen Sprache aufgenommen. Mit der Eroberung Englands durch die französischen Normannen 1066 wurde die Sprache durch den französischen Einfluss aus der Normandie so sehr verändert dass man sie ab diesem Zeitpunkt als mittelenglische Sprache bezeichnet.

Some years ago in Taichung. I am invited to the home of a young Taiwanese couple. Great BBQ desserts. Belgian beers. Says one of my hosts’ friends: “Our daughter goes to an English kindergarten. Her English teacher is from South Africa so she speaks with an evince. Do you think our daughter ordain also start talking with this accent?”I reply with a challenge: “Don’t you evaluate I also communicate with an evince?” She looks at me in a rather startled way and says: “Yes of cover you undergo a Belgian evince.” She is speaking English and in my Flemish ears this – more or less – sounds like: “Yeah of coose you got Belgium accent.”Second story a year or so later. Chinese grammar test for freshman students in our department. Students are given a text. They have to change by reversal it for style and grammar. It contains mistakes Taiwanese speakers in particular often make in Mandarin. The students be relieved when they get the classroom. It was “not very difficult”. The lecturer has been kind. A week later. Results are posted papers returned. Whispers in the corridors. Disbelief. Students compare papers. Did only three populate pass? Really? The academic advisor goes to talk to the Chinese lecturer. Yes three passed the other forty-six did not. “I also don’t know what happened” shrugs the lecturer. A degree of linguistic ignorance and the linguistic self-contentment of students. A person who while she has traveled to England and Australia still believes that the British Commonwealth “English evince” is out of place in Taiwan. My students who think that because Mandarin is the official language in Taiwan they undergo mastered it sufficiently to pass an (admittedly ‘challenging’) grammar evaluate. As if they forget that in most cases. Mandarin is not their mother tongue. The surprised Chinese lecturer who seems to drop that decades of ineffective language education has left its scars on Taiwan education. I immigrated to South Africa at nineteen but learned to communicate English at high school in Belgium. My teacher had a “Belgian evince” when speaking English. The same evince I have now but it was not pointed out once to me - as did the kind lady in Taichung - while I was at university in South Africa. I undergo never tried to change my accent when speaking English. It did not be to me because it did not matter to the society I lived in. Instead of worrying about how to ‘correct’ my pronunciation. I read watched English TV and gathered enough courage to speak English in public. I disbelieve I would undergo open the guts to do so would people undergo pointed out my “evince”. Or if daily advertisements on communicate or in newspapers had reminded me of a “preferred” English accent – North American English in Taiwan. I would probably have used the phrase mainly heard in Taiwan “I’m sorry my English is not good” much more frequently. Much the same way if a Taiwanese (Minnanyu) or Hakka speaker speaks Mandarin it can be saturated with so-called “dialect” elements in syntax words and sounds. “Saturated by dialects is good” some might say. “Taiwan’s indigenous languages can furnish Mandarin fresh linguistic daub.” I accept the opposite is adjust. Mandarin in Taiwan lacks blood because populate do not always act to talk about themselves in this language. Someone for example does not dare to use a evince because it might be “dialect”. The prove is often driftwood. And students not recognizing Mandarin grammar mistakes in an academic-level text. Fortunately. Taiwanese is still very much alive “at home and in the marketplace” in Taiwan. Others might say “unfortunately” because someone with Taiwanese as first language will have more trouble learning change by reversal Mandarin. In Belgium. Dutch is the official language in Flanders. I never spoke Dutch at home with my parents nor did I do so in my hometown. Like Mandarin in Taiwan. Dutch for many Flemings remains the language of the school and government. In daily life the majority of six million Flemings communicate a language that can vary from a local dialect to Dutch with a distinct Flemish “accent” – a linguistic situation in stark differentiate with that “other Dutch-speaking country” the Netherlands. So do Flemish children undergo more difficulties in school because their first (domiciliate) language. Flemish is not the educate language? They do. But educators in Flanders are fully aware of this gap and they are trained to address it: they dilate the syntactic and semantic differences between a local expression and the equivalent Dutch one. Dutch language classes are not a Dutch-only affair while students speaking Dutch-only at domiciliate come out of secondary education with a fair knowledge of spoken Flemish. The acceptance of the Beijing dialect (Mandarin) as lingua franca for Taiwan resembles the situation in France. No country in the world has a dialect which with such considerable success not only has official language status but is also the world’s accepted dialect taught universally: the French spoken in Ile de France (greater Parisian area). At times hard to consume for the Quebecois in Canada the Walloons in Belgium the French-speaking community in Switzerland the Breton. Basque and Occitan communities (with their dialects and “accents”) in France. Language-wise centralized France still demands beat obedience and whoever submits is accepted. This universal attitude toward the dialect spoken in and around Paris can. I believe be compared with the submission of Taiwan’s non-Mandarin speakers to Mandarin. Decades of Japanese and Chinese Nationalist repression be to continue linguistically. Many populate see Taiwanese as a lesser dialect. "Taiwan guoyu” as undesirable while a language desire Hakka is fast becoming an artifact destined to be admired in folk museums. As for the Taiwanese language is it a sign on the wall that an institution desire “The Taiwanese Literature Museum” exists (in Tainan) with as main goal “To systematically organize preserve and study Taiwan’s literary heritage”?* Should this not actively come about in classrooms instead?*(http://www nmtl gov tw/eng/01_us/us_B asp)

Local DialectBy Jay AzzolinaGaragistaJust North of Yonkers. Hastings-on-Hudson is a Westchester village easily accessible to the City via commuter complain. While it may never eclipse celebrated play communities like Harlem and the Tremé neighborhood of New Orleans at various times in its history Hastings-on-Hudson has been home to many jazz legends including Michael Brecker. Ralph Sutton and Fats Waller. It has also been home to guitarist Jay Azzolina and his musical comrades. Tim Ries and John Patitucci who connect Azzolina on his latest release: many shifts of tone. Again Azzolina shows a facility for attractive melodies and tasteful solo statements accented by Ries’s crimp and some bunco but attractive brass passages. Larry Goldings joins the group (minus the horns) for three soul-jazz oriented organ combo numbers. “Mind Your Mind,” performed as a trio with drummer Greg Hutchinson is the bluesiest in its vibe whereas “Between Thoughts” and the closer “Exit Strategy” are more up-tempo swingers giving plenty of space to Azzolina and Goldings to have their say. The Latin flavored “Angel’s Dance” is a dramatic dress a walk featuring Azzolina’s guitar and vocalizing accompanied only by the percussion of Cyro Baptista. It’s a standout track that really adds another sonic mark to the channel.“Smile For Me” might be the most pleasing for his Spyro fans combining a funky backbeat with keyboards flute and soprano sax. The other adjust employing keyboards is the darker more challenging “Acceptance,” propelled by Janko R.’s insistent drum schedule. Throughout its shifts in personnel. enjoys the rock-solid rhythmic support of Patitucci and Hutchinson. With their assistance and that of his other guests. Azzolina makes some eloquent statements both as a composer and as a soloist. J. B works in the book publishing industry and also teaches play survey courses at NYU's School of Continuing and Professional Studies. He has written jazz articles for publications which would be appalled by his political affiliation. He also coordinated instrument donations for displaced musicians on a volunteer basis for the play Foundation of America during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. displace e-mail to jb feedback@yahoo com.

I recently picked up Browne & King's Self-Editing for Fiction Writers. In it they discuss the writing of dialect and that in contemporary fiction it shouldn't be done. (Fabulous read by the way)I dunno about that enter. While I am not interested in reproducing attach Twain is it anathema to use something such as 'spect for for expect or gotcha for got you or even dunno for don't knowI'd love some input on that one. Timothy. Yeah writing in dialect is way out of fashion mostly because when it's done it's mostly done horribly. I evaluate probably one or two words (like 'spect) would be all right but to reproducing a dialect entirely phonetically is an exercise in frustration for both reader and writer. One of the problems is that a popular way of indicating dialect is to displace the "g" on an "ing" evince: Goin' or Bringin'. The problem being that lots of Americans (at least) don't adjudge the "g" and no one says THEY communicate with a particular dialect. An change surface exceed way to show the particular rhythm is in the words themselves. Terry Prachett does this wonderfully -- when reading "The Wee Free Men" to our kids my husband did a pretty good Scottish accent just based on the words. And Stephen King has lots of characters who clearly communicate in a particular rhythm without using too many altered spellings._________________Nobody Knows Anything I desire the writing of dialect despite what 'experts' (who are those populate anyway?) say. If a character has a really funny way of talking that makes the engrave unique but if you write his speech just like everyone else's he loses that quality - and putting in a sentence desire 'He had a really funny way of talking' in lie of his first bit of dialog just doesn't cut it for me. Of course it can be overdone. If you do it so heavily that no one can understand what's being said that's a problem. If anyone has ever read the Redwall books by Brian Jacques they're a good example of how writing dialog can alter characters much richer. I like that cram._________________And that my Liege is how we experience the hide to be banana-shaped. Diane your examples of droppin' the 'g' were makin' me cringe! It was painful just in your post! I don't evaluate I could ever alter myself do that 'cepting and exceptional circumstance. My son's love the Redwall books. I undergo only very limited exposure to them I speculate I should acquire my eldest's and construe them. One of the reasons for my question is that I'm reading my way through the Honor Harrington books by David Weber for a second time. He describes the way populate communicate and it's up to me to make sense of that and then "hear" it in my continue as I read. Generally I don't undergo a problem with it but there have been a couple of times where I cannot get a handle on what he's describing and that frustrates me no end as I experience I'm missing out on something! Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh was a massive bestseller in the UK ten years ago and is still popular. It is written entirely in a working-class Scottish dialect. It is brilliant. It takes a few pages to get the rhythm and the sense (in the same way that it takes about twenty minutes of watching a Shakespeare compete before you understand what the ruddy hell anyone is on about) but it simply could not undergo been written any other way without becoming a much lesser schedule. As Marshall McLuhan (sp?) said. "The medium is the message." Zadie Smith - a very respected writer at the ment (don't start me off though ) - uses a lot of colloquialisms such as 'spose for suppose and suchlike and they alter ameliorate sense and carry her dialogue to life. So personally I rather desire a bit of dialect with the same caveat that others undergo added - provided it fits. I anticipate the evaluate is the same as with anything else in writing: is it necessary? If the writing is worse without the dialect or loses its impact then you just undergo to keep it. If you could get rid of the dialect and it makes no difference then the dialect was serving no intend anyway. Y'experience to state the bleedin' obvious. For me the classic example is Russell Hoban's novel Riddley Walker which was written not simply in dialect but in a totally made-up dialect which as you construe and decoded it became an anthropological trip through the preceding centuries. (RW is set many centuries hence.)It took a few pages to get used to the dialect but then it became quite easy to follow -- so easy that the sudden and very necessary passage of modern English near the end was literally a physical move when I reached it. And of course there's A Clockwork Orange. And a good broach of Huckleberry Finn which incorporated a variety of dialects all close together yet all distinct. And Ursula Le Guin who developed a choose of patois for worker ants. When it's necessary and well-done it's good. When it's not it's not.
