What are the processes that make dialects so natural and inevitable?
Social and Linguistic factors

Settlement

The major dialects of America English to this day reflect the original sites of settlement with cultural hearths such as
Boston, Tidewater Virginia, Charleston,
south Carolina.

Settlement patterns generally take place in several distinct phases:
![Page 14: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
First Phase.

Second Phase
![Page 16: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Third Phase
![Page 17: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The first settlers into a given region typically establish a cultural and linguistic area that persists in time, although the original feature will change in a number of ways and other features may take place.

Physical Factors

O ne of the most prominent vernacular dialects of English is found in the southern Appalachian mountain range, including West Virginia, western North Carolina and Virginia, eastern Tennessee and Kentucky, and by migratory extension, northwest Arkansas and southern Missouri, where so-called Appalachian English can be found.

The most effective kind of communication is face-
to-face, and when a group of speakers does
not interact with another, the likelihood of
dialect divergence is heightened

Linguistic explanation

There are higher-order principles of language structure that guide the ways in which the dialects of language will differ from each other.
![Page 48: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
English from Elizabethian period .
![Page 49: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
The pressure for dialect variation may come from within the system itself
Changes can also may originate from contact with other language communities.
Changes from within (because they take place independent of outside language influences)
Changes from outside
![Page 50: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Although we distinguish the two sources of
change, they often work hand in hand as the
internal structure of the system may dictate what items from outside will be adopted and how.
![Page 51: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Generalization
![Page 52: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Let´s consider the rule of Negation in English in its more restricted (standard) and its more expanded, generalize (vernacular)version.
![Page 53: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Negative making pattern.
The negative is typically restricted to one element in the sentence(often within the verb phrase) The Students were not reading the assignments.
![Page 54: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
If we want add “nobody”, there must be an adjustment to the rule.The indefinite is placed before the verb
Nobody was reading the assignments.
![Page 55: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
If the indefinite comes after the verb , the negative may be placed in the verb phrase.
The Students weren´t reading anything.
The Students were reading nothing.

Analogy
![Page 57: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
This notion is extended to refer to existing patterns of language that are used as the basis for bringing other forms into conformity with these patterns.
![Page 58: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Oxes instead of Oxen

Shifts which eliminate exceptions, or irregular forms, are referred to as
REGULARIZATION
1-She knowed the woman2-The oxes pulled the cart3- Mines is here.4- That is badder that this.

Redundancy reduction
![Page 61: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
A prime example of redundant marking in
English is the marker for Third person singular in
present tense.
She likes the story
![Page 62: Why languages have__dialects](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/547e75c7b4af9f58708b4843/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
To omit –s can make differences in form but not necessarily any differences in meaning.
She like_ the class.
The table is four inche_ long.
John_ hat is on the floor
The man _ ugly

Dialect diversity also comes from linguistic response to physical and social conditions surrounding language and the need to name new and things .
