New England English

New England English collectively refers to the various distinct dialects and varieties of American English originating in the New England area. Most of eastern and central New England once spoke the "read more...Yankee dialect", and many of those accent features still remain in eastern New England, such as "R-dropping". Accordingly, one linguistic division of New England is into Eastern versus Western New England English, as defined in the 1939 Linguistic Atlas of New England and the 2006 Atlas of North American English (ANAE). The ANAE further argues for a division between Northern versus Southern New England English, especially on the basis of the cot–caught merger and fronting. The ANAE also categorizes the strongest differentiated New England accents into four combinations of the above dichotomies, simply defined as follows:Northeastern New England English shows non-rhoticity, the cot–caught merger, and strong fronting. It centers on Boston, Massachusetts, extending into New Hampshire and coastal Maine. Southeastern New England English shows non-rhoticity, no cot–caught merger, and no strong fronting. It centers on Providence, Rhode Island and the Narragansett Bay. Northwestern New England English shows rhoticity, the cot–caught merger, and strong fronting. It centers on Vermont. Southwestern New England English shows rhoticity, no cot–caught merger, and no strong fronting. It centers around the Hartford-Springfield area of Connecticut and western Massachusetts.read less...
