DIALECTS

1. The definition of a dialect and why we chose this topic

Based on oxford advanced learner’s dictionary, dialect is the form of a language that is
spoken in one area with grammar, word and pronunciation that may be different from
other forms of the same language [ CITATION DIA16 \l 1033 ] or in short dialect is any
variety of a language associated with a group of people [ CITATION Spe20 \l 1033 ] and ythe
reason why we chose dialect bcs it is the most familiar, part of our daily language
(TARI)

2.

[ CITATION Ber20 \l 1033 ] (LISA)

3. Example
 I've got a new dustbin and I say I've gotten a new garbage can
A dialect is a much broader notion: it refers to the distinctive vocabulary and
grammar of someone's use of language. We're using different word and sentence
patterns to talk about the same thing," (Crystal and Crystal 2014) [ CITATION Ric19 \l
1033 ]
 A Northern American might say, “hello.” while a Southern American might say,
“howdy.” [ CITATION Wri21 \l 1033 ]
 “Will ye go, lassie, go?”
This is a line from a Scottish folk song, written in a light Scottish dialect. Words ye
and lassie are associated with the Scottish dialect of English. However, none of the
words are misspelled, so it’s not a heavy-handed use of dialect [CITATION Lit21 \l
1033 ]
 I’ll get the check into I’ll gat the chack.
 This line is about a man from India first coming to America and trying to understand
its culture. Normally, you’d have a novel where the American characters speak
normally but the Indian characters might speak in dialect. But this novel reverses the
experience, and tries to get us to hear how a “normal” American accent sounds to
someone from another culture [ CITATION Lit21 \l 1033 ]
 Thing for drink water in school call a bubbler in Wisconsin, but in New York it call
water fountain [ CITATION Spe20 \l 1033 ] (TOGETHER)

4. Media and methods used by dialectology to find out the existing dialects

Early dialectologists traveled around by car or bicycle with a notebook or a tape recorder,
interviewing locals and recording how they spoke. As technology evolved, they also
started using telephone calls and then internet surveys and social media data. (SASA)

They found that generally speaking, the longer a group of people has been living
somewhere and speaking the same language, the more dense the linguistic variation in
that area [ CITATION Spe20 \l 1033 ] (FEBBY)
