Abstract:

An aspect making a people unique are expressions and descriptions that reveal their perception. This collection represented nautical lifeways that defined cardinal cultural values of the area and served as a memory for values of generations past. Phrases perhaps unique to the Banks included atter-a-while and foine; ones more characteristic of time period included Hessian and sparkin’.
