Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change but in the dialectic between the two.

Viewed freely the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect race and range of time and is both the free and compacted composition of all.

Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.

The link between peace and stability on the one hand and social and economic growth on the other is dialectic. Peace poverty and backwardness cannot mix in one region.

I love learning about different dialects and I own all sorts of regional and time-period slang dictionaries. I often browse through relevant ones while writing a story. I also read a lot of diaries and oral histories.
