Subject: 'swan' in TX, ARK



I heard /swan/ for 'swear' growing up as a child in southeast TX and

later in the Ozarks region in Arkansas. I have probably heard it in

southern Appalachia also, though I haven't focused on it. It seems

unexceptional to me. Bethany Dumas = dumasb[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]utkvx.utk.edu (English, U of TN)
