THE CHANGING MAINE LEXICON: MAINTENANCE AND SHIFT OF MAINE REGIONAL WORDS

Master thesis | Linguistics (MA)
An exploration of lexical dialectology within the state of Maine in the Eastern United States. Discussed are regional lexical distinctions within the state, lists a glossary of regional words, and examines whether words specifically linked to the Maine region are disappearing or simply shifting to the larger New England variational words or Standard American words.
