It compares the Michigan Frankenmuth dialect with its parent dialect in central Franconia.\u003cbr\u003e     The town of Frankenmuth was established in 1845 by an unusually homogeneous group of orthodox Lutherans bent on remaining separate from the American mainstream. The settlement history was therefore a significantfactor in postponing the shift to American English in Frankenmuth until the middle of this century.\u003cbr\u003e     This study will be of interest to scholars and students of dialectology, contrastive dialectology, and sociolinguistics.","brand":"Renate Born","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280336793851,"sku":"9781879751590","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781879751590.jpg?v=1772487868","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/michigan-german-in-frankenmuth-9781879751590","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
