Distinctly diverse dialects are not necessarily a negative attribute of a community, but such a distinctive language sets a particular region or group of people apart from others. Differences between dialects include pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and the most easily recognizable from one region to another: common expressions. Through a simple interview research project, I hope to examine first-hand how individuals' speech patterns differentiate based on differences in origin/region as well as age/generational differences. This interview process will examine each individual's response to common words and/or phrases, such as the new limited access road or a soft drink. The pressing problem and interest in analyzing what appears to be a unique attribute of a group of individuals is actually about the fact that certain dialects prevent individuals and/or specific geographic areas from succeeding in the world of professional work. . The aim of this research is to identify who is affected, based on what determining factors, and subsequently what would be a possible solution to level the playing field. For my own research, I chose to interview seven people who I think represent a variety of education levels, ages and places of origin. I thought bringing together my grandmother, mother, and sister, from Maryland and Pennsylvania, would do a good job of showing the differences and changes over three generations within our family. I also chose three students from the University of Georgia, but made sure they were born and raised in very different geographical environments, such as California, Illinois, and Georgia. Finally, I interviewed my college professor who taught in Maryland, but grew up in Wisconsin...... middle of paper ...... are our experiences with others and benefit from their experiences » (University of Georgia). As long as our differences in communication do not remove this necessity, there is no need to make a big deal about the differences.
