Pennsylvania German Dictionary
This new, first-ever dual language dictionary contains more than 21,000 Pennsylvania German words and their English counterparts. Dr. Stine has prepared a descriptive and not a prescriptive dictionary, in which the Lehigh-Northampton County variant of Pennsylvania German is the dominant version of the dialect. The author has taken care, however, to include significant differences from other areas, such as the Lancaster-York County and Schuylkill-Dauphin County regions. This dictionary documents, as much as possible, and even celebrates, regional variations in pronunciation and usage. - Introduction.
Heart Language
"A selection of short stories by Elsie Singmaster that focus on the Pennsylvania-German experience. Includes commentary framing them in historical, cultural, and literary contexts"--Provided by publisher.

Orthography as Social Action
The chapters in this edited volume explore the sociolinguistic implications of orthographic and scriptural practices in a diverse range of communicative contexts, ranging from schoolrooms to internet discussion boards. The focus is on the way that scriptural practices both index and constitute social hierarchies, identities and relationships and in some cases, become the focus for public language ideological debates. Capitalizing on the now robust body of literature on orthographic choice and debate in sociolinguistics and anthropological linguistics, the volume addresses a number of cross-cutting themes that connect orthographic practices to areas of contemporary interest in sociolinguistic...
