>   One of my collegues has a master's student who wants to write a chapter

> would be greatly appreciated. What is needed, I think, is a series of detailed

> descriptions of Appalachian dialects and subdialects, and some detailed

> dialect maps. Older materials would be especially welcome.

>   Reply privately, and I will summerize for the net if there is any general

> interest.
