Appalachian English in Southern Indiana?

by Brian Jose

Montgomery (1989, 2007) proposed three standards for establishing that dialects are genetically related: historical connection, explicit quantitative description of plural verbal -s, and the plural verbal -s was compared to dialects of Appalachian English.
He also gave evidence that the patterns are not simply "universals" of english vernaculars.
Jose also investigated other aspects of the grammar.
