We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query. To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.cfm.
Directory 1. Miranda Panzer, Resources: Wisconsin Rapids English Dialect Message 1: Resources: Wisconsin Rapids English Dialect
Date: 24-Feb-2010 From: Miranda Panzer <panzer.mirastudents.uwlax.edu> Subject: Resources: Wisconsin Rapids English Dialect E-mail this message to a friend Hello, I am doing an English fieldwork project on the dialect of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin and am having a difficult time trying to find resources to help me with my research. I have already consulted the following websites: 1.) Wisconsin Englishes: http://csumc.wisc.edu/wep/index.html 2.) American Dialect Survey: http://www4.uwm.edu/FLL/linguistics/dialect/index.html I am particularly looking at vowels in 'bag,' 'home,' and 'caught.' I am also looking at the issue of ae raising and the 'greasy/greazy line.' Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you very much for your time and help! Sincerely, Miranda Panzer Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics Phonetics Phonology Sociolinguistics This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000.
