    — markedly differ on the phonemic level: one and the same phoneme is differently pronounced in each of them;

    — differ also on the lexical level, having their own names for locally existing phenomena and also supplying locally circulating synonyms for the words, accepted by the language in general.

  • Regionalism

    Regionalism is a linguistic term for a word, expression, or pronunciation favored by speakers in a particular geographic area.

    «Many regionalisms [in the U.S.] are relics,» notes R.W. Burchfield: «words brought over from Europe, chiefly the British Isles, and preserved in one area or another either because of the continuance of older ways of life in these localities, or because a particular type of English was early established and has not been fully overlaid or undermined» (Studies in Lexicography, 1987).

    In practice, dialect expressions and regionalisms often overlap, but the terms are not identical. Dialects tend to be associated with groups of people while regionalisms are associated with geography. Numerous regionalisms can be found within a particular dialect.

    The largest and most authoritative collection of regionalisms in American English is the six-volume Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE), published between 1985 and 2013. The digital edition of DARE was launched in 2013.

    Etymology

    From the Latin, «to rule»
    Examples and Observations

    The following definitions were adapted from the Dictionary of American Regional English.

    • flannel cake (n) A pancake. (Usage: Appalachians)
    • flea in one’s ear (n) A hint, warning, disquieting disclosure; a rebuke. (Usage: chiefly the Northeast)
    • mulligrubs (n) A condition of despondency or ill temper; a vague or imaginary unwellness. (Usage: scattered, but especially the South)
    • nebby (adj) Snoopy, inquisitive. (Usage: chiefly Pennsylvania)
    • pungle (v) To shell out; to plunk down (money); to pay up. (Usage: chiefly West)
    • say-so (n) An ice-cream cone. (Usage: scattered)
      (Celeste Headlee, «Regional Dictionary Tracks The Funny Things We Say.» Weekend Edition on National Public Radio, June 14, 2009)

    Pop vs. Soda

    • «In the [American] South it’s called Coke, even when it’s Pepsi. Many in Boston say tonic. A precious few even order a fizzy drink. But the debate between those soft drink synonyms is a linguistic undercard in the nation’s carbonated war of words. The real battle: pop vs. soda.» (J. Straziuso, «Pop vs. Soda Debate.» Associated Press, September 12, 2001)

    Turnpike

    • «In Delaware, a turnpike refers to any highway, but in Florida, a turnpike is a toll road.» (T. Boyle, The Gremlins of Grammar. McGraw-Hill, 2007)

    Sack and Poke

    • «Sack and poke were both originally regional terms for bag. Sack has since become a Standard term like bag, but poke remains regional, mainly in South Midland Regional dialect.» (Kenneth Wilson, The Columbia Guide to Standard American English, 1993)

    Regionalism in England

    • «What some call a roll, others call a bun, or a cob, or a bap, or a bannock, while in other areas [of England] more than one of these words is used with different meanings for each.»
      (Peter Trudgill, The Dialects of England. Wiley, 1999)
    • «How do you make your tea? If you come from Yorkshire you probably ‘mash’ it, but people in Cornwall are more likely to ‘steep’ it or ‘soak’ it and southerners often ‘wet’ their tea.»
      (Leeds Reporter, March 1998)

    Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE)

    • «As chief editor of the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE), a massive effort to collect and record local differences in American English, I spend my days researching the countless examples of regional words and phrases and trying to track their origins. Launched in 1965 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, the project is based on thousands of interviews, newspapers, government records, novels, letters, and diaries. . . .
      «[E]ven as we near the finish line, I encounter a common misperception: people seem to think that American English has become homogenized, making the dictionary a catalog of differences long since flattened out by media, business, and population shifts. There’s a grain of truth to that. Certain regional terms have been weakened by commercial influences, like Subway’s sub sandwich, which seems to be nibbling away at hero, hoagie, and grinder. It’s also true that strangers tend to talk to each other in a somewhat homogeneous vocabulary, and that more Americans are moving away from their linguistic homes as they relocate for school, work, or love.
      «But DARE’s research shows that American English is as varied as ever. The language is diversified by immigration, of course, but also people’s creative license and the resilient nature of local dialects. We have dozens of ways to refer to a remote place, for instance, including the boonies, the sticks, the tules, the puckerbrush, and the willywags. The proverbial village idiot, in such a place, might still be described as unfit to carry guts to a bear or pour piss out of a boot. If his condition is temporary, a Southerner might call him swimmy-headed, meaning dizzy. And if his home is dirty, a Northeasterner might call it skeevy, an adaptation of schifare, the Italian verb ‘to disgust.’
      «As these examples suggest, the regionalisms that persist are often not those we learn from books or teachers or newspapers; they are the words we use with friends and family, the phrases we’ve known forever and never questioned until someone ‘from away’ remarked on them.» (Joan Houston Hall, «How to Speak American.» Newsweek, August 9, 2010)

    Regionalisms in the American South

    • «Vocabulary is . . . strikingly different in various parts of the South. Nowhere but in the Deep South is the Indian-derived bobbasheely, which William Faulkner employed in The Reivers, used for ‘a very close friend,’ and only in Northern Maryland does manniporchia (from the Latin mania a potu, ‘craziness from drink’) [mean] the D.T.s (delirium tremens). Small tomatoes would be called tommytoes in the mountains (tommy-toes in East Texas, salad tomatoes in the plains area, and cherry tomatoes along the coast). Depending on where you are in the South, a large porch can be a veranda, piazza, or gallery; a burlap bag can be a tow sack, crocus sack, or grass sack; pancakes can be flittercakes, fritters, corncakes, or battercakes; a harmonica can be a mouth organ or french harp; a closet can be a closet or a locker; and a wishbone can be a wishbone or pulley bone. There are hundreds of synonyms for a cling peach (green peach, pickle peach, etc.), kindling wood (lightning wood, lighted knots) and a rural resident (snuff chewer, kicker, yahoo).» (Robert Hendrickson, The Facts on File Dictionary of American Regionalisms. Facts on File, 2000)

    In the work you’ve done so far on ways to identify word classes, you have seen that many words can be identified by form, function and distribution.

    In this activity, we’ll look at how you might use these ideas to identify some words which appear in regional varieties of English. You’ll see examples of regional dialect terms in the context which they were used, and your task will be to work out what grammatical role the word is performing.

    Regional words (not in context)

    • mithered
    • cobs
    • mardy
    • snickleway

    Questions:

    1. Identify the word class of each of the above. How can you tell?
    2. Explain what you think the word might mean, based on the elements that it is made up of, and that you have come across before.

    Regional words (in context)

    • She just mithered and mithered and wouldn’t stop.
    • I’ll have two of those cobs, please.
    • She was acting really mardy.
    • We went down the snickleway to get away from the crowds.

    Questions:

    1. Identify the word class of each of the above. How can you tell?
    2. Explain what you think the word might mean, based on its context.

    Extension tasks

      1. Can you think of four more dialect terms that you have come across in your local area?
      2. Dialect consists of more than just words as it usually covers meanings and grammar too (and some linguists also use it as an umbrella term to include accent). Can you think of any ways in which grammar is used differently in your own regional variety of English, or varieties that you have come across?

      English speakers throughout the United States sound different, even though they are from the same country. People use different vocabulary, grammar, and syntax depending on their geographical location. This variation is called regional dialect. Studying a regional dialect helps people better understand differences within their communities and countries. It can also help writers understand how to write dialogue and readers understand how to interpret it.

      Regional and Social Dialects

      A dialect is a form of language unique to a particular group. Language in this context refers to vocabulary, grammar, syntax, and pronunciation. The two main types of dialect are social dialect and regional dialect.

      Social dialect describes variation in language use on the basis of a social group, like socioeconomic status or ethnic background. For example, African American Vernacular English (also called Ebonics) is a social dialect. This dialect is not based on where people live but on what ethnic group they belong to. On the other hand, a regional dialect is the result of where people live.

      Regional Dialects, Conversation, StudySmarterFig. 1 — A dialect is a form of language unique to a particular group.

      Dialect is different from accent because it refers to a person’s pronunciation, vocabulary, and other elements of language, while accent refers to just pronunciation.

      Although people share social and regional dialects, everyone has a distinct personal style of speaking that makes them unique from others. This style is called an idiolect. An idiolect is a mix of combining social factors that shape social dialect, elements of regional dialect, and personality traits. People change their speech patterns depending on the context they find themselves in, such as a professional working environment or an informal social environment with close friends. How they change these speech patterns is partly shaped by their personality and their understanding of the world around them.

      Regional Dialect Definition

      What is the definition of a regional dialect? Also called a regiolect, a regional dialect is a form of language unique to a geographical area. A person who studies regional differences in speech is called a dialectologist.

      Regional dialect is a variation in language use based on geographical area.

      It is important to note that the word region makes up the word regional. This can serve as a reminder that regional dialects are different than national dialects. Regional dialects differ throughout various areas of one country.

      For instance, a standardized form of American English is found in media outlets such as newspapers and television scripts across the nation. However, people in the Southern United States use different vocabulary, sentence structures, and grammar in their everyday speech than is found in newspaper articles. Studying regional dialects means studying such differences within a country, not differences between countries, like the difference between American English and British English.

      Regional Dialect Analysis

      A regional dialect is an interesting reflection of life in particular geographical areas. Parents pass down their way of speaking to their children who live in that region, and those children eventually pass down their way of speaking. However, suppose children are raised elsewhere or have parents from different regions. In that case, they do not develop as strong of a single dialect because they are not surrounded by it in their community. This leads to variations within regional dialects and evolutions of new dialects.

      Analyzing a person’s regional dialect can provide insight into where they are from and how people communicate in that area. Migration between and within regions has also led to the development and segmentation of distinct regional dialects. Therefore, analyzing regional dialects can provide insight into rich histories of human geography.

      Regional Dialects, Book, StudySmarterFig. 2 — Readers should note regional dialects when reading fictional dialogue.

      Analyzing Regional Dialects in Literature

      Readers should be on the lookout for indications of a regional dialect in literature. For instance, in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), Mark Twain writes about a boy named Huck from the American South. In the dialogue, Twain uses distinctive indications of the boy’s regional dialect, like in the following excerpt:

      Well, I couldn’t see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my mind I wouldn’t try for it. But I never said so, because it would only make trouble, and wouldn’t do no good (Chapter 1).

      In this quote, Huck uses double negation that is distinctive of his regional dialect. When analyzing literature like this, readers should note how the authors enhance characterization and establish time and place through regional dialect.

      Writers should also think about regional dialects too! If you are writing a fictional story, consider how the region a character is from would impact how they speak.

      American Regional Dialects

      There are as many as thirty regional dialects in the United States. These fall under the umbrella of the three main regional dialects in the United States: the North, Inland South, and the West.

      Regional Dialects Examples

      The following dialects are the main regional dialects in the United States.

      The Northern Dialect Regions

      Inland North

      The Inland Norther American dialect stretches from the Great Lakes to Western New York. It includes major cities like Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and Toledo. The Inland North regional dialect is known for «the Northern Cities Shift,» a distinctive use of short vowel sounds common throughout the region. For instance, people from this region might pronounce the word «cat» like «kiy-ut.»

      Eastern New England

      On the East of the Inland North barrier is the Eastern New England regional dialect. This includes major cities like New York City and Boston. Native New Yorkers tend to switch the letter T for D and say «da» instead of «the.» A similar dialect is the Boston dialect, where they switch R for H. For instance, someone from Boston might say «wadah» instead of «water.»

      Regional Dialects, Mountains, StudySmarterFig. 3 — People in the Appalachian mountains have a unique regional dialect.

      Inland/Mountain Southern Dialect Regions

      The Inland/Mountain Southern dialect is prominent among people from Appalachia, Texas, Tennessee, and other nearby Southern states. In this region, people are known for their distinctive drawn-out vowel sounds, which combine phrases like «you all» into «y’all.»

      The West Dialect Regions

      The Western United States has fewer distinctive regional dialects than the North and the South. However, the region is known for its long and short open /o/. For example, speakers in this region may pronounce the words «Cot» and «Caught» similarly.

      Some linguists worry that regional dialects are dying out, although others disagree. Others argue that regional dialects aren’t dying out, but rather evolving in an era of more globalization and migration. As people move around the world, they interact with others who have other regional and social dialects. When people settle in new areas, they bring their own regional dialects to that area. Over time, this can lead to a merge between dialects or what sounds like standardization of the language.

      Regional Dialect Vocabularies

      Vocabularies also vary by regional dialect. For example, people who live in the Southern United States have different words for different items and use different slang than those who live in the North. For example, people in the Midwestern United States drink «pop,» while on the East coast the same drink is called «soda,» and those in certain parts of the South just call it «Coke.» Similarly, in the Southern United States, people call shoes you work out in «tennis shoes,» while in the East Coast, people call these shoes «sneakers.»

      Regional Dialects, Shoes, StudySmarter.Fig.4 — What you call these depends on where you are from in the United States.

      Each regional dialect also has its vocabulary that people within their regional dialects might not use or understand. For example, in the Inland North dialect, words like Buckeye (an Ohio resident) and Fish tug (a Michigan fishing boat) are words that someone with the Inland Mountain Southern regional dialect would not be familiar with.

      Learning such vocabulary words that are distinct to a regional dialect can help people understand a way of life in parts of a country they are unfamiliar with.

      Regional Dialects — Key Takeaways

      • A dialect is a form of language unique to a particular group.
      • A regional dialect is a variation in language use based on geographical area.
      • A regional dialect is different than a social dialect because a social dialect is a variation in language based on social factors.
      • The three main regional dialects in the United States are North, Inland South, and West.
      • Regional dialects are important because they provide insight into how people communicate in different parts of a country.

      Though dialects can be considered of various kinds, the most widespread and evident way of differentiating or defining a dialect is regional or geographical.

      Though dialects can be considered of various kinds, the most widespread and evident way of differentiating or defining a dialect is regional or geographical.

      A language is used in many ways, and sometimes speakers of the same language have a hard time understanding each other. Within our own countries, we see that the use of national languages can vastly differ from one region to another- whether it is in terms of grammar, specific expressions or even words that have been localized to some extent. Regional variations in how the same language is constructed and employed is thus what are referred to as regional dialects. Regional dialects are considered to be a distinct form of a standard or common language, that could be geographically from a province, rural spaces or in some cases also specific to a social group. 

      Though dialects can be considered of various kinds, the most widespread and evident way of differentiating or defining a dialect is regional or geographical. The differences between regional dialects, as it would seem, depends on proximity- the further you move from one region to another in the same country or territorial space, the more  dissimilar the dialect. The classification of regional dialects, however, more concretely follows specific linguistic features as displayed in the usage of the language. Grammar and vocabulary, studying the word formation, helps us understand better where the classification of one regional dialect starts, and another stops. 

      Regional Dialects In The English Language

      The English language is one such language that is considered to have a wide variation in regional dialects in countries where it is spoken as a native tongue. Taking an example of  how regional dialects vary, countries such as the United Kingdom come up as an interesting case with 37 dialects to boast of- while these differ between smaller and larger regional dialects, yet the sheer variation in the way English is used showcases the power of regional dialects. In the UK, regional accents include the famous Cockney, considered to have emerged as a social dialect of working class Londoners but also now associated with the region in and around London itself. Another regional dialect from the UK is the Yorkshire dialect, which is spoken in the Yorkshire county itself. Interestingly, though one could classify Scottish dialect as a regional one, within the dialect as well there are smaller differing dialects.

      Languages are malleable and fluid, not only in their use, but also in their sound. While some might argue there’s only one proper way to pronounce a specific word in a language, variations in accents and dialects show how this isn’t the case. Both these words are used to explain the distinctive ways of using the same language. The differences in accents, however, is mostly limited to the aspect of sound in the usage of specific words and phrases, whereas regional dialects showcase variations or versions of a language, which includes not only pronunciation but also grammar, vocabulary as well as syntax. While accents are generally used to differentiate between the way a native speaker and a non-native speaker of a language speaks it, dialects differ between native speakers themselves. More importantly, accents can also be considered as part or subject of a regional dialect.
