Produktbeschreibung
"Early South Carolina experienced a diverse influx of cultures and languages, drawing influences from Native Americans, enslaved Africans, and a plethora of European peoples--Scots-Irish, English, Jewish, German, and French Huguenot chief among them. In Voices of Our Ancestors Patricia Causey Nichols offers the first detailed linguistic history of the state. She tells the richly complex story of language contact among these groups during the colonial and early federal eras, paying particular attention to the development of the Gullah language among the coastal African American peoples. Nichols's expert use of primary source materials and deft analysis of contemporary language variations and speech communities advances our understanding of not only the diverse South Carolina experience but also how the need to communicate shared experiences and values united us. In a new preface, Nichols reflects on the growing diversity of the United States as a whole and how relationships across communities shape language and culture."--Page [4] of cover.
