Dialects
• Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class or ethnic group
• Not all dialects carry the same prestige, usually the dialect spoken by the dominant group is more prestigious.
• Dialect leveling – decreasing differences between regional dialects
![Page 3: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Dialects
• Registral varieties – are dependent on the participants, setting, and topic.
• Dialect density – the extent to which particular individuals use the available features of their dialect and depends on factors such as socioeconomic status and geography.• Depending on social classes, there are some
features that are used more than others.

Myths about dialects (table 8.1)
• A dialect is a variety spoken by someone else.• Dialect features are always distinct and noticeable.• Dialects arise from ineffective tries at speaking the
correct form of the language.• Dialects are random changes from the “standard.”• Dialects are always viewed negatively.

African American English
• Is used by many African Americans and other groups (such as Puerto Ricans) in contact with AAE speakers.
• Is systematic• Origins
• Anglicist Hypothesis – AAE is a dialect of English• Creole Hypothesis – AAE descended from
Plantation Creole, developed from a mixture of language brought into contact during the slave trade period.

Findings• AAE-speaking children tend to produce the
same phonetic inventory as speakers of GAE, although frequency may vary• At least 4-5 years old
• Show great inter-subject variability• Not all target features are present in all
speakers

Minimal Competency Core
• Developed to decrease bias in assessment
• Definition- the least amount of knowledge that one must exhibit to be judged as normal in a given age range
• Best used as a screening tool
![Page 25: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Minimum Competency Core
• Phonological features core includes the following word/syllable initial sounds that are invariable in GAE and AAE• /m, n, b, t, d, k, f, g, s, h, w, j, l, r/.
• Assessing these with clusters differentiated typical from atypical development in AAE.

• Bidirectional Influences1.Specific phonemes or allophones may not be
shared by both languages
2.Differences in distribution of sounds
3.Different places of articulation of consonants
4.Differences in phonological rules
5.How and when pronunciation is acquired
![Page 36: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Transfer/Interference Patterns
• Transfer• Positive Transfer• Negative Transfer – Interference

Transfer/Interference Patterns
• Under-Differentiation of Phonemes• Over-Differentiation of Phonemes• Reinterpretation of Distinctions• Phone Substitution
![Page 38: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Transfer/Interference Patterns
• Under-Differentiation of Phonemes• Occurs when two sounds of the secondary system for
which counterparts are not distinguished in the primary system are confused.
• In Spanish /d/ occurs in word initial and after /n/ and /th/ occurs in intervocalic positions
• In English these sounds are separate phonemes.
• Spanish speaker will treat them as allophones of one phoneme and not necessarily make the distinction. Problems distinguishing “day” and “say.”
![Page 39: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Transfer/Interference Patterns
• Over-Differentiation of Phonemes• Imposes phonetic distinctions from L1 system
on the L2 system, where they are not required• An English speaker may interpret [b] and [β] as
allophones of /b/ and /v/.
![Page 40: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Transfer/Interference Patterns
• Reinterpretation• Speaker distinguishes phonemes of the L2 system
by features that are merely redundant in that system, but are relevant in the L1
• Finnish speaker distinguishes vowel lengths, disregards vowel qualities between sit and seat and differentiate by vowel duration.
![Page 41: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Transfer/Interference Patterns.
• Phone Substitution• Occurs when phonemes are defined
identically in two languages but where the pronunciation differs.
• Portuguese /t/ is dental and unaspirated, English /t/ is alveolar and contextually aspirated; both are [+coronal, +anterior, -voiced, -continuant].
![Page 42: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Common/Uncommon phonological patterns (Yavas & Goldstein, 1998)
• Phonological processes – universals• Reduced consonant clusters
• Stopped fricatives
• Fronted velars and palatals
• Glided liquids
• Deleted unstressed syllables
• Assimilatory changes
• Disordered speech• Some patterns are reported across languages, others not.
![Page 44: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Common/Uncommon phonological patterns (Yavas & Goldstein, 1998)
• Monolingual versus bilingual children with and without disorders
• Normally developing bilinguals and bilinguals with disorders
• showed an overall lower intelligibility rating,
• Made more errors overall
• Distorted more sounds
• Produced more uncommon error patterns
• Bilingual children exhibited error patterns found in both languages as well as those typical in one language, and not typical in another language.
• See Table 1
![Page 45: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Assessment Considerations
• Accounting for dialectal differences in the L1 makes a difference
• Contrastive Analysis Procedures can be used
• Minimal Competency Core Procedures• Bilingual children tend to be more accurate in
producing sounds that exist in both languages

Guidelines for Teaching Standard Dialect in Schools
• The fact that language differences do not represent linguistic and cognitive deficiencies is an important premise for any education program. Given the advantages that may be associated with the ability to use standard English in appropriate situations, most schools include it as a goal of instruction for all students. Some general guidelines should be followed in teaching standard English at any level (Wolfram & Christian, 1989).
![Page 50: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Guidelines for Teaching Standard Dialect in Schools
• * The teaching of standard English must take into account the importance of the group reference factor. Speakers who want to participate in a particular social group will typically learn the language of that group, whereas those with no group reference or with antagonistic feelings toward the group are less likely to do so.
![Page 51: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Guidelines for Teaching Standard Dialect in Schools
• Instruction in standard English should be coupled with information about the nature of dialect diversity. By giving students information about various dialects, including their own, teachers can demonstrate the integrity of all dialects. This approach clarifies the relationship between standard and vernacular dialects, underscoring the social values associated with each and the practical reasons for learning the standard dialect.
![Page 52: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Guidelines for Teaching Standard Dialect in Schools
• Teachers and materials developers need a clear understanding of the systematic differences between standard and vernacular dialects in order to help students learn standard English.
![Page 53: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Guidelines for Teaching Standard Dialect in Schools
• The dialect of spoken standard English that is taught should reflect the language norms of the community. The goal of instruction should be to learn the standard variety of the local community, not some formal dialect of English that is not actually used in the area. Regional standards are particularly relevant in the case of pronunciation features.
![Page 54: Phonology in Dialectalism and Bilingualism Dialects Def – Mutually intelligible forms of a language associated with a particular region, social class](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bd677550346b9588b57b6/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Guidelines for Teaching Standard Dialect in Schools
• Language instruction should include norms of language use, along with standard English structures. Speaking a standard dialect includes the use of particular conversational styles as well as particular language forms. For example, using standard English in a business telephone conversation does not involve simply using standard grammar and pronunciation. It also involves other conventions, such as asking the caller to "hold" if an interruption is called for, or performing certain closing routines before hanging up.
