Noise and Tension
Blamed for Dialect
OF New Workers
'Boby Talk Getting
Worse, Declares
Speech Expert
3y the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Perhaps
you have always thought gangsters
and rowdies gave New York its
"dese" and "dose" and "toity-toid'
street lingo.
Well, you can take it from q
man who has studied the patois fol
13 years-"it's just a form of baby
talk and It's getting worse"
According to Victor A. Fields, di-
rector of speech clinic at City
College of New York, three condi-
tions have created this dialect which
Is so amusing, or distressing, to
other Americans:
!. A "deafening bombardment'
of noises in streets and subways. A
person learns to speak correctly or
incorrectly through the ear, he ex-
planned, and when you can't hear
words we'll you can't be expected
to speak good English.
2. The constant hurrying and
nervous tension of big city life. If
q New Workers. mind was relaxed
he said, he wouldn't talk so rapidly
with his mouth closed, blurting out
words through the nose or a corner
Of the mouth.
3. Dull surroundings and skies
overcast with smoke and air pollu-
ton. The drab, colorless vista OF
New York, he said, is reflected in
a mumbled language of monotones
Mr.. Fields agrees with Mrs Eliza
beth Won Hesse, Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt's voice teacher, who re-
Gently told a Washington gathering
that such pronunciations as
"cawn't" and "bawth" ought to be
banned.
But we could 60 too far in stand
ardizing pronunciations and it
wouldn't be desirable. The languid
-drawl of the Southerner and the
Grips, frosty nasality of the New
Englander reflect their surround
ings and the tempo of their lives.
However, exaggerated accents
should be corrected because they
attract attention to the person
rather than what he says"
Mr.. Fields doesn't see anything
"colorful" about the hurried, care
less speech of New Yorkers. He
calls it an undeveloped form of
speech, an "infantile" dialect ex-
posing the speaker as a person who
has not yet learned to distinguish
between many consonant and vowel
sounds.
Even college students in New
York say 'pwincipal pwoblem,
'wibwawy' for library, 'widdo' for
little, 'widing' for riding and my
name is Wobbut' when they mean
Robert"
Familiar to many outlanders are
the New Workers. pronunciations of
'dis, dat and de oder ting" oily
bold" for early bird, "choich" for
church, "erl" for oil, teri for toll,
"tink" for think and "N'Yawk" for
New York.
Fields has detected other distor-
tions which he said are just as COM
mon in this city, such as "gumt
for government, sunni" for some
thing, "queshn,' for question, "fev-
yer" for forever, "poblik" for public,
'bekuss" for because and "collich'
for college.
Then, he said, there are the repe-
titions of "g" sounds as in sing
ging" for singing, "bring-gup" for
bring up and "Longgisland" for
Long Island.
Every year 1t is becoming more
difficult for visiting Americans to
understand New Workers, Mr.. Fields
said. The patients" in his clinic,
where students from go high schools
are given corrective training, have
increased from 120 eight years ago
to 300 today.

Trends stiffened near midday
after a Wavering start, and gains

intervals and transfers were at the

Tax selling seemed to have waned
and nothing particularly disturbing
was discerned in the European war

of the early buying was attributed
