| Abstract | The present work is a synchronic description of the phonology of the Glarus dialect, as it is spoken in Green County, Wisconsin, by descendants of settlers from Canton Glarus, Switzerland. It is based on fieldwork carried out by the author in Green County in the summers of 1966 and 1967. The work aims to present with the synchronic phonological description an illustrative sample of the forms which were recorded. A comparison with the dialect of Canton Glarus is not undertaken here, but major items of interest are noted where they occur, and a future comparison has been borne in mind in the making of the analysis. The data collected also provides material for a description of the morphology and the lexicon. |
