dc.description.abstractThe paper briefly describes a collection of field notes on the Prekmurje dialect as spoken by immigrants to the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, which were collected in 1941 by the renowned American structural linguist George L. Trager (1906–1992) during a three-month research stay. After his fieldwork in Pennsylvania, Trager focused in his descriptive work on Native American languages of the U.S. Southwest. As a result, the Prekmurje material gathered dust until 1966, when he sent the notes to the American Slavist Jan Perkowski, who, in turn, kept them until 2007, when he sent them to the author of this paper. The field notes reflect the speech patterns of the Prekmurje Goričko type in its American context. The notes also give evidence of an innovative manner of representing phonemic and phonetic segments that Trager had been developing as a means of improving on the precision of the International Phonetic Alphabet.
