McDavid, Raven I., Dialectology and the Integration of the Schools. Addressing the 2nd International Congress of Dialectologists, the author argues in favour of a linguistic element, supplied by the insights of dialectologists, in the accommodation of school teaching methods to disadvantaged groups – notably African-Americans of the U.S.A. “Mr Ellis of Leeds” in the discussion tried to apply this to in-migration into English cities, while “Mr Schmitt, of Marburg” commented on the variety of situations in which dialect and language difference reflected social patterns: each situation to be judged by its own merits, without reference to any other. Studies of the speeches of such places as Chicago, Akron and Tyneside are “more intensive applications of the traditional methods of dialectology, adapted to an urban situation.” 1965 {Part LXV.

Folk traditions are seen to be “assimilated from earlier generations through communication on the hearth”, but “the actual content of oral tradition can never be defined exactly alike for all countries”. 1963 {Part LXIII.
