The Phonetics Of Great Smoky Mountain Speech is a book written by Joseph Sargent Hall that explores the unique speech patterns and phonetics of the Great Smoky Mountains region in the United States. The book provides a detailed analysis of the pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm of the local dialect, as well as the historical and cultural factors that have influenced its development. Hall draws on his extensive fieldwork and interviews with native speakers to offer insights into the distinctive features of the Great Smoky Mountain speech, including its use of diphthongs, nasalization, and vowel lengthening. The book also includes a glossary of regional terms and a phonetic transcription of sample sentences, making it a valuable resource for linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the diversity of American English dialects.American Speech Reprints And Monographs, No. 4.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
