Abstract

THAT THE LINGUISTIC ATLAS projects have provided much information on the regional distribution of pronunciation, vocabulary, and syntax is well known. In addition, the collected data have been shown to provide important insights into several other aspects of language. Harold B. Allen (1963, p. 3) first demonstrated how the data in the files of The Linguistic Atlas of the Upper Midwest provide for greater understanding of certain problems involved in change. Subsequently, Underwood (1968) provided further evidence of semantic confusion and ambiguity in the dialect patterns of the same location.
