This blog was a tool used as part of a Research Writing course I took at IUP (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) with Marlen Harrison. It chronicles much of the activities and learning processes throughout the class revolving around our research paper. Mine focused on the social implications surrounding regional dialect and identity, titled- Pittsburghese: Pride and Shame Surrounding Sociolinguistic Oddities and Regional Identity.
To protect my work, I have deleted the final draft of the paper, along with any information that was too specifically personal.
I’ve left this up on the chance that it may be used a resource to other students looking for information online. If you have any questions or comments about the work you can also email me directly at spelch88@yahoo.com
