Book Description
Excerpt from The Annals of Binghamton, and of the Country Connected With It: From the Earliest Settlement For some number of years past it had been felt by some individuals of the place to be very desirable that, in some practicable and easy form, the most important incidents relating to the early settlement of the village should be preserved for the supposed satisfaction and utility of the rising and future generations. It was several times spoken of, and proposed to some of the earliest settlers, to make minutes of what they still remembered relative to themselves and their compeers after they became identified with the settlement. In compliance, it is supposed, with such a request, many years ago Col. Rose made historical minutes to an important extent; but unfortunately they were afterward lost, or, as it is believed, accidentally burnt; so that nothing remained of them. In relation to one important place within the section of country these Annals are designed to embrace, to wit: Elmira, Solomon Southwick, some few years since, wrote a pamphlet, entitled "Views of Elmira," in which he gives the first settlement of the neighborhood and the first laying out of that village, with the early stages of its progress.

Handbook of the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States

Book Description
Who uses "skeeter hawk," "snake doctor," and "dragonfly" to refer to the same insect? Who says "gum band" instead of "rubber band"? The answers can be found in the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States (LAMSAS), the largest single survey of regional and social differences in spoken American English. It covers the region from New York state to northern Florida and from the coastline to the borders of Ohio and Kentucky. Through interviews with nearly twelve hundred people conducted during the 1930s and 1940s, the LAMSAS mapped regional variations in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation at a time when population movements were more limited than they are today, thus providing a unique look at the correspondence of language and settlement patterns. This handbook is an essential guide to the LAMSAS project, laying out its history and describing its scope and methodology. In addition, the handbook reveals biographical information about the informants and social histories of the communities in which they lived, including primary settlement areas of the original colonies. Dialectologists will rely on it for understanding the LAMSAS, and historians will find it valuable for its original historical research. Since much of the LAMSAS questionnaire concerns rural terms, the data collected from the interviews can pinpoint such language differences as those between areas of plantation and small-farm agriculture. For example, LAMSAS reveals that two waves of settlement through the Appalachians created two distinct speech types. Settlers coming into Georgia and other parts of the Upper South through the Shenandoah Valley and on to the western side of the mountain range had a Pennsylvania-influenced dialect, and were typically small farmers. Those who settled the Deep South in the rich lowlands and plateaus tended to be plantation farmers from Virginia and the Carolinas who retained the vocabulary and speech patterns of coastal areas. With these revealing findings, the LAMSAS represents a benchmark study of the English language, and this handbook is an indispensable guide to its riches.
