Lecture / Presentation Description

Languages change over time leaving remnants of the acrolectal variety that are heard in communities today. So is the case with Gullah Geechee, as the years progress, integration continues and communities are gentrified creating noticeable changes in the Gullah Geechee language. This presentation will explore transcriptions of Gullah Geechee presented in Turner's seminal work with comparisons to contemporary child Gullah Geechee. The session will explore the persistent linguistic features along with features used more infrequently among young children.
