  • Idiomatic Speech Of Elizabeth's Day Is Found in South March 27, 1937 Special to The Christian Science Monitor CHAPEL HILL, N, C.—Research into the subject of folk speech is an absorbing venture of the University of North Carolina's staff, which has already made pre-eminent studies in folk culture. It has long been known that some of the isolated parts of the South have preserved certain elements of speech that passed out of standard usage in the days of Queen Eliza- beth. Researches in the ballad and folk song have brought many of these to light, and the folk tales now being placed -on record are often couched in a language that would have been recognized as familiar by Bunyan or Dryden. That the preservation of such forms would shed important light on the development of English in America goes without saying. As an example, in many dialect areas of North Carolina the word rear is pronounced to rhyme with pear; and in others the old past tense of eat, pronounced "et" is still used. Chief promoter of this type of activity in the University of North Carolina is Prof. E. E. Ericson of the English department. At present one doctoral candidate, Mr. W. L. Wilson, is making a study of dialect materials in North Caro- lina. This will break the ground for further studies of a similar nature. Mr. Wilson's collections, which ex- tend into the thousands, embrace court records, dialectal fiction, col- loquial expressions, phraseology of wills, and many other rich and varied materials.
