| Abstract | The Dodge County Pionier was a German weekly newspaper published in Mayville, Dodge County, Wisconsin, between 1876 and 1946. This study presents the history and content of the newspaper against a background of the history of the area and of the foreign-language press in the United States. Dodge County was a bilingual community, and the Dodge County Pionier reflects the resulting interference phenomena. The major part of this study categorizes the four thousand examples of linguistic interference collected from seven representative volumes of the newspaper. The study includes samples of the paper's text, glossaries of the interference phenomena and samples of syndicated material from the newspaper. |
