Pennsylvania Dutch: A Dialect of South German With an Infusion of English

Samuel Stehman Haldeman

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Pennsylvania Dutch: A Dialect of South German With an Infusion of English," Samuel Stehman Haldeman meticulously dissects the nuances of Pennsylvania Dutch, elucidating its intricate relationship with South German and its unique evolution influenced by English. Haldeman employs a rigorous philological approach, merging linguistic analysis with historical context to demonstrate how this dialect reflects the cultural tapestry of its speakers. The book serves as both a linguistic study and an ethnographic account, situating the dialect within the broader narrative of German immigration to America and the resultant cultural transformations. Samuel Stehman Haldeman, a prominent linguist and naturalist in the 19th century, drew upon his extensive background in both language and science to craft this seminal work. His interest in dialectology stemmed from his experiences with diverse linguistic communities, particularly in Pennsylvania, where he observed firsthand the vibrant interplay of languages and cultures. Haldeman's dedication to language preservation and his commitment to understanding the socio-linguistic dynamics of American dialects played a crucial role in shaping this book. "Pennsylvania Dutch" is an indispensable resource for linguists, historians, and cultural enthusiasts alike. It not only sheds light on the complexities of a unique dialect but also opens avenues for understanding the broader socio-linguistic phenomena arising from immigration and cultural exchange. Readers will find Haldeman's work both enlightening and essential for comprehending the rich linguistic heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch community.

From Terrain to Brain - Forays...

Erika Szymanski

In From Terrain to Brain, Professor Erika Szymanski makes wine science accessible to non-experts. Rather than approach wine science as body of facts about wine, Szymanski explores how wine science can open up multiple ways of seeing, understanding, and appreciating wine. 
 
 
 
Too often, wine science is presented as a comprehensive body of knowledge that enthusiasts aiming to become experts should memorize. This book instead uses scientific research to explore wine as an endlessly rich cultural phenomenon. By foregrounding recent research and developments in wine science, From Terrain to Brain presents wine science as a work-in-progress rather than a codified body of knowledge. 
 
 
 
Each chapter takes listeners on a journey or "foray" through a topic in wine science, such as minerality, climate, microbiome, and yeast. Chapters are organized from "terrain" (geography, terroir, soil) and cell "membrane" (microbiology) through "brain" (the experience of tasting) and "drain" (sustainability). Throughout, From Terrain to Brain emphasizes that wine science, wine culture, and tradition are interconnected and places scientific research in social and historical context.
