Northeast Folklore Society Newsletter, Vol. 24, Northeast Archives Of Folklore And Oral History

Northeast Folklore Society Newsletter

The versitility of the Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History has again been demonstrated by the visit of an English professor from Japan who is doing a comparative study of the Maine accent and Shakespearean pronounciation. Professor Tsuneko Ikemiya of Tezukayama University in Nara, Japan, a specialist in acoustic phonetics, has been working in the Archives since March listening to tapes of Mainers from different parts of the state.

While she is primarily concerned with similarities in the pronounciation of contemporary Maine dialects and Elizabethan English, Professor Ikemiya reports that she has also found herself so interested in what …

Patterns Of Infant Mortality In The Upper St. John Valley French Population: 1791-1838, Marcella H. Sorg, Beatrice C. Craig

Anthropology Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this paper is to provide a descriptive analysis of infant mortality patterns in a pre-industrial North American population, the Madawaska French of the upper St. John Valley. A synchronic approach was taken in examining a series of 320 infant deaths identified through family reconstitution. The infant mortality rate for the series is 132 per 1000, low compared to other pre-industrial populations. The large average completed family size of 11.34 is associated with short birth intervals averaging 21.9 months. Women who experience infant mortality were found to have significantly larger completed families that those who did not. Infant …

Willy Loman And The "Soul Of A New Machine": Technology And The Common Man, Richard T. Brucher

English Faculty Scholarship

As Death of a Salesman opens, Willy Loman returns home “tired to the death” (p. 13). Lost in reveries about the beautiful countryside and the past, he's been driving off the road; and now he wants a cheese sandwich. But Linda's suggestion that he try a new American-type cheese — “It's whipped” (p. 16) — irritates Willy: “Why do you get American when I like Swiss?” (p. 17).
