Abstract

In this book, W&S-E provide an account of the background research and fieldwork for – as well as the results, influences, and applications of – their work (and that of other collaborators) on the dialect of the Outer Banks of North Carolina, particularly on the island of Ocracoke. The reader of this review should keep in mind the readership that W&S-E have in mind: “We attempt to describe the language that is faithful to the detailed patterning of the dialect while making our account readable to the wide range of people who are interested in the speech of Ocracoke” (xii).
