This dissertation investigates leveling in the auxiliary verb system of a moribund variety of English spoken on Smith Island, Maryland. Leveling is a process by which one form takes over others in a paradigm, resulting in partial or total syncretism. Previous research (e.g. Schilling-Estes and Wolfram 1999; Parrott 2001) has investigated various aspects of language change in progress in Smith Island English (SIE), including a morphological process, leveling to weren't, taking place in the context of contracted negation. (Attested examples include 'Ma weren't doing no laughing' and 'I weren't very old.') Schilling-Estes (2000, 2002) demonstrates that weren't leveling is progressing to near-categorical status for the youngest generation of Smith Islanders. The present study uses data from sociolinguistic interviews with twenty-nine Smith Islanders across four generations to see whether similar leveling patterns occur elsewhere in the auxiliary verb system.Subjects--Topical Terms:

This dissertation investigates leveling in the auxiliary verb system of a moribund variety of English spoken on Smith Island, Maryland. Leveling is a process by which one form takes over others in a paradigm, resulting in partial or total syncretism. Previous research (e.g. Schilling-Estes and Wolfram 1999; Parrott 2001) has investigated various aspects of language change in progress in Smith Island English (SIE), including a morphological process, leveling to weren't, taking place in the context of contracted negation. (Attested examples include 'Ma weren't doing no laughing' and 'I weren't very old.') Schilling-Estes (2000, 2002) demonstrates that weren't leveling is progressing to near-categorical status for the youngest generation of Smith Islanders. The present study uses data from sociolinguistic interviews with twenty-nine Smith Islanders across four generations to see whether similar leveling patterns occur elsewhere in the auxiliary verb system.

Findings show that present tense auxiliary BE, HAVE, and DO are also leveling in this variety, to ain't (BE & HAVE) and don't (DO). These data also support Schilling-Estes' research regarding weren't leveling in SIE (2000, 2002). It is concluded that weren't leveling is part of a general shift in the auxiliary verb system, in which contracted -n't forms are no longer being analyzed as agreement markers, but simply negation markers. The youngest islanders use leveled forms almost categorically. Degree of orientation to Smith Island is shown to be a statistically significant extra-linguistic factor, with speakers most strongly oriented to the island displaying the highest rates of leveling.

In addition to sociolinguistic analyses, this dissertation addresses the theoretical nature of leveling with contracted negation. Two recent analyses of leveling consistent with the Separationist model of Distributed Morphology are considered (Adger & Smith 2005; Mittelstaedt & Parrott 2002, Parrott 2006). A framework allowing for an additional lexical item for leveled forms within Adger & Smith's Minimalist framework accounts for the possibility of leveling in a restricted context. This dissertation provides an example of how variation data can used to address relevant theoretical questions.
