- Date May 20
- Time 7 p.m.
- LocationSee "Today in the Union" on day of presentation, Memorial Union
- DescriptionKathryn Remlinger, Grand Valley State University, will discuss how ethnic and local identities—what it means to be from the Copper Country—are directly linked with the local dialect and its development since the late 1800s. Remlinger will present study findings demonstrating that meanings associated with being local connect identity with language use, in other words that the most “authentic” locals are those who have the “best” dialects.
