Dr. Sandra Clarke, Philip Hiscock and Robert Hollett built on the earlier work of linguist Dr. Harold Paddock to create the Dialect Atlas of Newfoundland and Labrador, an online record of the province’s unique linguistic features. Their combined efforts have helped preserve the historic dialects of the region and contributed to our country’s cultural knowledge.
