A Tar Heel Hoy Toider Night Say
i*.
Tlyvers Nice In Iver Heist'
By PETE IV EY
CHICAGO, ILL. - North
Carolinians had better beware
?Just as flower girl Eliza
Doollttle did at the market
place ? who's overhearing
them when they talk.
Professor Lucia Morgan
from Chapel Hill may be tak
ing down what they say and
marking It In her candid cam
era phonetic notebook.
Eastern North Carolina ?
east of Rocky Mount and
especially In the far east
coastal regions ? Is populat
ed by many people who still
sound like southern England,
from Cork and Belfast and
from the docks of Liverpool.
Their forebearers may have
been seamen from England.
Dr. Morgan explained tht
special Tar Heel type of lan
guage in a lecture In Chicago
to the Speech Association of
America.
She explained to the speech
convention about the "Hoy
Tolders." People of theOuter
Banks are called Hoy Tolders
?the dialect sound for high
tide. Hyde County In the far
east is also pronounced Holde.
But Prof. Morgan found an
other oddity. She calls It the
"hln he'.st" phenomenon. A
young man who said he was
from east of Rocky Mount was
asked to say this that Dr.
Morgan had typed: "A hound
dog sniffed around the her
house." The man said, "A
hind dog sniffed arlnd the hln
heist."
She wrote: "A brown cow
found around town In the south
country" came out a "Abrlne
kl find arlnd tine In the
slth."
Prof. Morgan said, "Ifounc
the hln heist deviation to be
every bit as Interesting as hoy
toide ? probably more so
because it was unexpected."
The UNC speech professor
stopped at a restaurant and ex
plained to the waitress she was
collecting food recipes. She
avoided saying she was a pho
netician, because "residents
were getting a bit sick of tour
ists asking them to say some
thing In your funny way."
STOP THE PRESS?Prim, pretty, and ever so neat is
this high-waisted print dress in all-cotton durable press.
The dress never needs ironing?just tuck it in the wash
ing machine, spin dry, and it's ready for wearing. By

"What native dish to you
recommend for dinner? ask
ed Prof. Morgan of the wait
ress.
"The Idem fritters Is
noise" said the girl.
The waitress was saying
"The clam fritters Is nice."
"How are they made?"
asked Miss Morgan.
"The klems If first grind,
then mixed wlf a little fly
and frold," said the waitress.
Dr. Morgan Interpreted that
to mean the clams are ground
and mixed with flour and then
fried.
The waitress was asked
about the effects of hurricanes
In the region. "To ml neulnz,
no heist has ever blown dine,"
she said. This Is translated:
"To my knowing, no house has
ever blown down."
One hundred miles inland
from the coast, Prof. Morgan
heard these pronounciations:
Fly-vers?for flowers
Iver?our
Iver heist?our house
Rin shivers?rain showers
Dr. Morgan watched the
easterners as they talked, ob
serving their lips and jaw
muscles. "I noted that the lips
were not as rounded" when
saying things that rhymed or
sounded like hoy tolde. "1
practiced the sound with un
rounded lips, letting my tongue
do all of the work."
But Miss Morgan couldn't
seem to make a go of the imi
tation, until she tried a new
technique. She placed a pencil
between her teeth. "I clamped
down on it as the old sea
men do their pipes," she
said. By this means, she was
able to duplicate quite
accurately the sound made by
the Outer Bankers. She asso
ciates this connection with the
English seamen ancestors
who talked with pipes clench
ed between their teeth.
In the mountains of North
Carolina there are three diph
thong treatments that help to
identify the home area of the
speaker. "In the mountains we
hear nas, rat and brat for nice,
right and bright," said Miss
Morgan.
She heard one student at
Chapel Hill whose home was
in the mountains refer to a
girl as the "kwat tap."
He was saying that girl was
the "quiet type."
In the Piedmont there is
strong "vowel substitution,'
for example the "tell tale
heart" is "tell tell heart,"
Yale is yell. Sail is sell.
