Subject: Re: English Dialect in Tidewater, Virginia



See David Shores' 1984 article, "The Stressed Vowels of the Speech of

Tangier Island, Virginia" in _Journal of English Linguistics_, Vol 17,

pp 37-56.



The Video _American Tongues_ has several examples of speech by natives

of Tangier Island also.
