Pennsylvania Dutch by Mark L. Louden Pdf

The fascinating story of America's oldest thriving heritage language. Winner of the Dale W. Brown Book Award by the Young Center for Anabaptists and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College While most world languages spoken by minority populations are in serious danger of becoming extinct, Pennsylvania Dutch is thriving. In fact, the number of Pennsylvania Dutch speakers is growing exponentially, although it is spoken by less than one-tenth of one percent of the United States population and has remained for the most part an oral vernacular without official recognition or support. A true sociolinguistic wonder, Pennsylvania Dutch has been spoken continuously since the late eighteenth century despite having never been "refreshed" by later waves of immigration from abroad. In this probing study, Mark L. Louden, himself a fluent speaker of Pennsylvania Dutch, provides readers with a close look at the place of the language in the life and culture of two major subgroups of speakers: the "Fancy Dutch," whose ancestors were affiliated mainly with Lutheran and German Reformed churches, and traditional Anabaptist sectarians known as the "Plain people"—the Old Order Amish and Mennonites. Drawing on scholarly literature, three decades of fieldwork, and ample historical documents—most of which have never before been made accessible to English-speaking readers—this is the first book to offer a comprehensive look at this unlikely linguistic success story.

Crazy and a Half by D. R. Andersen Pdf

Six insanely hilarious and touching short plays take a sly look at therapists, patients and the way love drives everyone just a little over the edge. The first three, collectively called New York Crazy, deal with two therapists fighting for the only hour left in their shrink's day, a divorced couple struggling over custody of their dog Harry, and a shy Mafia wife demanding, with gun in hand, that her therapist make her happy. California Crazy shifts to the west coast for three equally funny sessions: an annoyed psychiatrist tries to end therapy with a burnt out rock star who can only sleep soundly during his weekly sessions; a wacky young woman teaches a stuffy head doctor a thing or two about love; and a married couple with intergalactic problems seeks treatment with a husband and wife team of marriage counselors who are on the verge of divorce themselves. Whether performed individually or as a two act, full length entertainment, the laughter will be therapeutic.
