Linguistics & Language Neurology

 

"Dialects play an important role in identity and diversity. They can have unique grammatical features, pronunciations, and lexical items. Linguists document dialects to uncover the diversity that exists within languages, both based within a single country (e.g. regional dialects of American English) and across the world (American English, British English, South African English, etc.). These resources focus primarily on English variation within the United States. Some focus on specific states, others on specific types of linguistic data (e.g. syntax). Also included are dialect quizzes meant to predict where the taker is from and articles from the media about dialect features."
