Scope:
This pathfinder is designed with the hope that others who have an interest in Southern Appalachian dialect will be able to derive positive information from its structure. There is a distinct line between scholarly research and “humorous” research on this topic and even in scholarly research the reader needs to be aware of a sometimes condescending tone.
