ENGLISH DIALECTS

As we have studied, a dialect is a variation of a language. Dialects have more to do with geographical circumstances than by social facts. A dialect is created by people who more away from the original region and get in contact with people from another region.
In this course, we studied dialects by reading, doing research, and group presentations and discusions. The material used in this section has been organized as shown below:
