I believe in more than a few readings related to Appalachian mountain culture, there is an important link to the aspect of language and the preconceived, and often times incorrect, notions of the shape of the language of the region and what it should be like.  This is not a phenomenon strictly limited to Appalachian culture; however, it does seem to permeate a large portion of discourse about the society.  Even in mentioning Appalachia and the people of the region, the first thing that many people think of is often the presumed accents that we all know and hear or the mythical Old English myth.  Two authors that exemplify this very well are Montgomery and Frost.  In relation to each other, both discuss heavily misconceptions held about mountain people and they overlap in part on the subject of the language myths of Appalachia.  I believe that if these two authors were to meet and discuss together many of these issues and myths of language that a greater synthesis of understanding would be attained about what exactly the myths of the region are and how the actual realities are about the regions.   Such things such as how mountain people are presumed to say “Saxon pronouns” and the like are discussed thoroughly by both authors such as Frost clearly lays out on p. 313 of his work.  All in all, I believe that both of these articles provide a clear demonstration of common misconceptions of the Appalachian region and its people and work well in relation to one another to dispel these misconceptions.
