An Example of the New England Iron Industry

1927 ◽  
Vol 1 (6) ◽  
pp. 1-2

The iron industry in New England was nearly contemporaneous with the settlement of eastern Massachusetts, but for upwards of a hundred years it was confined to the bog ore found in marshes near Lynn and a few other places. By the time of the Revolutionary War, iron foundries were firmly established in the New England States.

This is the first of two chapters (Chapters 6 and 7) that analyze fieldwork results in eastern Massachusetts. This chapter analyzes the eastern Massachusetts “Hub” region as a whole, providing a statistical overview of speakers interviewed in the Dartmouth-based fieldwork in this area. It examines the results in terms of major traditional Eastern New England dialect features, including Linear Mixed Effects regression modeling in terms of phonetic environments and social factors like age, gender, social class, and ethnicity. The chapter also plots these dialect features in terms of speakers’ birth year and other factors, showing how these features are changing over time.

This is the second of two chapters (Chapters 6 and 7) that analyze the Dartmouth-based fieldwork data in eastern Massachusetts. This chapter “zooms in” to focus on particular subgroups within the Hub data set. First, the chapter provides statistical and graphical comparisons of traditional New England dialect features by contrasting two nearby groups: White speakers in the traditional working-class South Boston neighborhood, and Black/African American speakers in nearby Dorchester, Hyde Park, and other neighborhoods. The chapter concludes with a fieldwork project in Cape Cod. In each case, the chapter provides detailed plots of dialect features and statistical analyses with respect to age, gender, social class, ethnicity, and other factors

Growth in residential land use is a relatively visible and permanent change taking place in communities across Massachusetts and in many parts of New England. These changes have generated considerable public concern and have been the subject of professional study by several disciplines.
