| Abstract | Using three interviews made in the summer of 1968 with speakers of the Pommeranian dialect who resided in Freistadt, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, this work provides both an account of aspects of the history and life of the Freistadt settlers as told by the consultants and a linguistic description of the language, its similarities to the modern German language, and the extent of English influence on the dialect. |
| Notes | Senior honors thesis. The interviews used in this study are part of the North American German Dialect Archive held at the Max Kade Institute in Madison, Wisconsin. |
