The "rez accent"

[dorinda]

I have my DW reading page subscribed to the RSS feeds for some blogs and whatnot, which is very handy. (And recommended! It brings various readables all to one central place so I can wallow in them.)

The languagehat linguistics blog (dw's rss feed page is https://languagehat-feed.dreamwidth.org/) linked today to a great article on Voice of America about the "rez accent" (Native American English), and some of its linguistic characteristics. Really interesting, and with some links to video as well.

I'm linking via languagehat because on that blog, unlike so many other places, the comments are worth reading!

Thank you!! My wrung-out old brain cells really appreciate the help…and I foresee my list of feeds getting longer forthwith.

Enjoy!

I want to be able to potentially check out any new story I see but it's far too time consuming to check them regularly on AO3 for very little payoff.
