| Abstract | The relatively neglected Dutch [deriving from 'Deutsch'] songs considered are in a creolized English that, to invoke vernacular characterizations, has been 'broken,' 'fractured,' and 'mangled' through collisions with an immigrant's native tongue. Words are written to reflect an exaggerated, theatricialized German pronunciation, and many "residual words and phrases from the old country" can be found. Leary examines the emergence of Dutch dialect songs, particularly in the Upper Midwest, and its persistence in present-day manifestations. Includes a selected discography. |
