- Arnow's Use of Dialect in The Dollmaker.
- In her 1954 novel, The Dollmaker, about a family torn from its homeland and thrust into World War II-era Detroit, Harriette Arnow captures through her use of dialect the diversity of cultures that meet and clash in the city. ... More importantly, though, Arnow uses the diversity she creates through dialect to underscore Gertie's final realization that she and those around her are all alike, connected by the more powerful bonds of life, love and humanity.
- A perfect display of the contrast in dialect that Arnow puts to use is seen in Gertie's conversation with the black woman on the train ride to Detroit. ... Likewise, the dialect of the Italian merchant in the city can be identified by the lack of the work "of", and the usage of the short "a" at the end of words: "This piece squash, hokay? S'yu wanta squash?" (215) Through Arnow's subtle changes in words, the reader can almost hear the characters' voices and recognize their races without having to be told.
- A more obvious difference created through the use of dialect is that of education. ... The dialect of the teacher makes her seem to be more educated and tame than Gertie.
- The net result of Arnow's accurate usage of dialect is the effect of showing as distinct and separate the differing races, education levels, and backgrounds, making Detroit seem to be a hodge-podge of clashing cultures. ...

5. Terralingua Definition -- language or dialect
- www.terralingua.org
- Language or dialect?:.
- Short definition: a language is a dialect promoted by élites.
- In Debi Prasanna Pattanayak's view (1991: 27-28), "the developed countries treat their respective dominant languages as resources, call them world languages, and use them to further their national interest', while those of the 'third world élites' who follow the West 'deride the mother tongues' in their own countries 'as dialect, slang, patois, vernacular, and condemn them to marginal use, or completely ignore them" (ibid. ... But we can also hear a genuine question: is what XX speak a "language", or is it a "dialect"? Can the question be answered? What is the difference between a language and a dialect?.
- There are no linguistic criteria for differentiating between a language and a dialect (or vernacular or patois). ...
- "Mutual intelligibility" has also been used as a criterion: if you understand a "language", A, without being taught that "language", it is a dialect (or another variety) of your own "language", B. Or your own "language" B is a dialect of the one you can understand, A. ... Where is the boundary then between language and dialect. ...
- Would Dutch then be a separate language for a monolingual Swedish-speaker who does not understand Dutch, but a dialect of Swedish, or German or English, for me?.
- Is oral Danish then a separate language from Swedish, while written Danish is a dialect of Swedish? And what about the deaf population? .
- Only dialects which have been reduced to writing (a prerequisite for standardization) and been standardized are languages, everything else is something else (dialect, vernacular, patois). ... These choices were also decisive for inclusion and exclusion: the rulers decided where the borders would be placed in the dialect continua between what was called one language and what another language.
- Thus, the main criterion for whether something is a dialect of another language or a separate language (and what is being standardized, what not) is the relative political power of the speakers of that language/dialect. ... Political definitions of a language would be: "a language is a dialect with an army (and a navy)" or "a language is a dialect with state borders" or "a language is a dialect promoted by elites". ...
6. Pellissippi Parkway 1: Dialect Discussion
- users.erols.com
- Welcome to Pellissippi Parkway's Dialect Discussion.
- On this page (and one side-link below) I'll discuss the relative value of a dialect as measured against a standard in formal, especially an academic, setting. ...
- So what we're talking about is dialect usage: and the fact is that one dialect nearly always beats out all the rest to become the standard, either because of literary usage, economic power, social status, governmental influence or force, or some combination of these. ...
- This is what the Encarta encyclopedia has to say about dialect: version of a language differing in some aspects of grammar, pronunciation, or vocabulary from other forms of the same language. A dialect restricted to a certain area or locale is a geographical dialect; one spoken by a specific group of people of a similar level of education, social class, or occupation is a social dialect. ... The standard literary dialect of a language often was developed from a spoken dialect that was recorded by a talented writer or writers. Thus, the Tuscan dialect, employed with literary genius by the poets Dante Alighieri and Petrarch, dominated all other Italian dialects and became the written language of Italy. The High German dialect into which Martin Luther translated the Bible became standard German. The East Midland dialect of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer became the basis of the English language. ...
- Generally, linguists believe that no dialect is objectively better or worse than any other. ...
- If all those students are in a college or university i assume it means most of them want to eventually go out into the world to `seek their fortunes', as it were; at any rate, i assume they don't intend to spend the rest of their lives only with their dialect-mates. If so, then it behooves them to master at least one `standard' dialect of English, in addition to their own. Not because the standard is *better*, from a purely linguistic point of view, than their own dialect, but because it is the vehicle of social, economic, and/or political success in the outer world. If it is to them a `foreign' dialect, let them think of it as a foreign language mastery of which will bring them significant dividends. ... We should encourage them to think of it as an 'empowerment' issue: Go on using your native dialect all you want, but when you have to deal with the Wider World, the strangers you will encounter in the course of your careers, this 'standard' dialect will prove a very useful tool, if you learn to use it well. ... But if you really mean to seek success outside your own dialect-community this 'standard' will be invaluable to you. ...

- TUI Dialect - A dialect to print ASCII sequences in REBOL.
- A Cursor Positioning Dialect .
- What I didn't like about it, that was the "/" notation used, so I decided to settle to write a dialect to position the cursor.
- A Cursor Positioning Dialect.
- Creating a dialect means, to create a now mini language, that can be used in a specialized environment within REBOL. ...
- cursor2: func {Cursor positioning dialect (iho)} commands block! .
- cursor2: func {Cursor positioning dialect (iho)} commands block! parse commands rules .
- cursor2: func {Cursor positioning dialect (iho)} commands block! /local rules rules: any 'clear | 'at parse commands rules >> cursor2 clear at at clear at == true .
- Now our dialect block can contain elements like.
- cursor2: func {Cursor positioning dialect (iho)} commands block! /local rules string arg string: copy "" ; Don't forget 'copy here. ...
- Think about it, wouldn't it be nice, if we could include arbitrary REBOL Code within the dialect? Maybe like you want include a row of dashes, of computed length.
- All we actually have to do is run the dialect block through compose first, like this:.
- cursor2: func {Cursor positioning dialect (iho)} commands block! /local rules string arg string: copy "" commands: compose commands ; NEW LINE HERE rules: any 'clear (append string "^(1B) J") | 'at set arg pair! (append string rejoin "^(1B) " arg/x ";" arg/y "H" ) | set cnt integer! set arg string! ( append string head insert/dup copy "" arg cnt ) | set arg string! (append string arg) parse commands rules string >> x: 10x10== 10x10>> print cursor2 clear at (x) "Hello World!" at 11x10 (length? "Hello World!") "-" .
- Here's what I want to add to our dialect function:.
- That's not exactly what we wanted, is it? The problem here is, 'compose runs the code in the dialect in the global context, where screen-size isn't defined, because it's only local to cursor2. ...
- I included some more words in the dialect, and a limited error handling, but you'll see.

- Dialect Syntax of Swiss German.
- Whereas the geographic distribution of phonological, morphological and lexical variables is well attested by the Swiss German Dialect Atlas (Sprachatlas der deutschen Schweiz SDS), this is not the case for syntactic structures, although the linguists' interest on syntax has dramatically increased in the last decades, due to the progresses in syntactic theory and language typology. Nevertheless, *dialect* syntax has been discovered as an attractive research area for theoretical linguistics only in the last few years. ...
