This is an interesting book on a small dialect spoken in part of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Some areas are islands and more isolated from the mainland developed alternate speech patters. Some of the books is the exploration of how the dialect differs from general American. Oracle Island is furthers from the norm, but the Outer Banks people do have a definite dialect. When I was in the Navy, I met up with a North Carolinian who speech was not typically Southern. He told me was from the Outer Banks. This books shows pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary that is quite different from the rest of the south. Sometimes, the author globs together the dialects in the U.S. not in the south, not realizing that there is quite a variety, particularly when you look at the Northeast.

As many visitors to Ocracoke will attest, the island's vibrant dialect is one of its most distinctive cultural features. In Hoi Toide on the Outer Banks, Walt Wolfram and Natalie Schilling-Estes present a fascinating account of the Ocracoke brogue. They trace its development, identify the elements of pronunciation, vocabulary, and syntax that make it unique, and even provide a glossary and quiz to enhance the reader's knowledge of 'Ocracokisms.' In the process, they offer an intriguing look at the role language plays in a culture's efforts to define and maintain itself. But Hoi Toide on the Outer Banks is more than a linguistic study. Based on extensive interviews with more than seventy Ocracoke residents of all ages and illustrated with captivating photographs by Ann Ehringhaus and Herman Lankford, the book offers valuable insight on what makes Ocracoke special. In short, by tracing the history of island speech, the authors succeed in opening a window on the history of the islanders themselves. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
