| Abstract | Researchers at Penn State University in collaboration with the Mifflin County Mennonite Historical Society are collecting oral histories from members of the Anabaptist community in Kishacoquillas Valley, located in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. . . . Our project encompasses a full range of Anabaptist sects within their local, geographical context in Mifflin County. Our interview questions. . .focus primarily on language use and cultural practices in an attempt to uncover attitudes about ethnic and religious identity and language. . . . In this essay, we report on the language attitudes we have encountered thus far in approximately 21 oral history interviews. |
