Hans Kurath, Linguistic Atlas of the United States. CSISS Classics
- Brown, Nina
- Editor(s): Janelle, Donald
Abstract
Kurath's primary goal was to use the Linguistic Atlas to map the evolution of American English from the relatively "pure" forms of English brought to the United States by early settlers to the regional dialects that existed in the contemporary United States. He saw language patterns on maps derived from field surveys as a living record of events related to the growth of trade and transport systems, urbanization, and population movements.
