Are you considered a ""dingbatter,"" or outsider, when you visit
the Outer Banks? Have you ever noticed a picture in your house
hanging a little ""sigogglin,"" or crooked? Do you enjoy spending
time with your ""buddyrow,"" or close friend? Drawing on over two
decades of research and 3,000 recorded interviews from every corner
of the state, Walt Wolfram and Jeffrey Reaser's lively book
introduces readers to the unique regional, social, and ethnic
dialects of North Carolina, as well as its major languages,
including American Indian languages and Spanish. Considering how we
speak as a reflection of our past and present, Wolfram and Reaser
show how languages and dialects are a fascinating way to understand
our state's rich and diverse cultural heritage. The book is
enhanced by maps and illustrations and augmented by more than 100
audio and video recordings, which can be found online at
talkintarheel.com.
