Regional and Social Dialects

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Both humorous and fascinating, dialects of the English language are a never-ending source of cultural studies in America. This presentation details characteristics and vocabulary of Eastern U.S. dialects, Southern dialects, and Western (Californian "surfer dude" dialects), as well as differences in British-American dialects and regional vocabulary. Slides 30-48 contain humorous examples and anecdotes of English dialects.
