Sea Grant Week 2005 Anyone who attempts to do a Maine accent with a Boston accent will immediately be pegged as "from away", as in, not from here, not born in Maine. Contrary to how it sounds in several Hollywood movies which shall remain nameless, the Maine accent is very different from a Boston accent. Its meaning is derived from sailing downwind from Boston, which is generally to the northeast. www.seagrant.umaine.edu /sgw05/sgwtip7.htm   (493 words)

Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Carousel" The Maine accent is quite unlike most American accents, and a bit of a joke to American ears. Accents in the first group are called rhotic ("using r"), those in the second group are non-rhotic. Accents of English the world over fall into two classes: those where r is pronounced before a consonant (Marrs barrs) and those where it is not (Mahs bahs). www.derek.co.uk /carousel/index.htm   (493 words)

Boston accent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Boston accent is the dialect of English not only of the city of Boston, Massachusetts itself, but more generally of all of eastern Massachusetts; it shares much in common with the accents of Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Southern Maine. This accent is separate and distinct from the Boston Brahmin accent associated with the Boston Brahmin aristocracy. The internationally best-known user of the Boston accent was probably John Fitzgerald Kennedy; however, Bostonians known this as the "Kennedy accent," as no one other than the Kennedys seem to have that particular accent. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Boston_accent   (1289 words)

Comments on 12264 Ask MetaFilter And there is no point trying to imitate a Maine accent without first listening to Marshall Dodge or some of the other people who have recorded Dodge's material. What I consider a Boston accent is nothing as extreme as movies make it out to be, I'd reccomend listening to the recordings at the bottom of this Wiki entry, there is a difference in ages as yerfatma mentions. Boston alone has a couple of different accents depending on age. ask.metafilter.com /mefi/12264   (1766 words)

h.o.m.e. - Orland, Maine There were also good people to get to know - "downeasters" with their thick slow Maine accent and volunteers from as far away as Texas and Ireland (though most were from nearby in New England). Farther off in the future are local growing of oats for feed (Maine at one time grew most of its own oats, now imports most of what it uses), and greenhouses to extend Maine's short growing season. Bright potholders, subtly dyed woven scarfs, jars of honey and jam, children's toys and handsome wooden jewelry boxes and bookracks all are neatly tended by several bustling elderly Maine women. www.well.com /~mareev/publications/HOME_Maine.html   (1535 words)

Boston sports talk has a Maine accent All three are proud of their Maine heritage and they like to think they give their viewers/listeners a glimpse of what it is to be a Mainer. The 40-year-old Caron, who graduated from Lewiston High in 1982, is the only one of the three who didn't begin his broadcasting career in Maine, although his two-year stint as radio voice of the AHL Portland Pirates certainly led to his position at NESN.

Gwyneth Paltrow playing Sylvia Plath...thoughts? - @forums The New England accent basically IS the Boston accent, although, if you're from this area, you'd know that there's a specific Maine accent, and that most people in New Hampshire and Vermont don't have any accent. That, and I've heard that Gwyneth is trying to get her Boston accent...considering her Boston accent from a skit in SNL, I think it'll probably be overdone...I'm from Mass, and the accent is usually fake and too New York sounding when people try to imitate it. There are also different "types" of the Boston accent- Sylvia originally lived in Jamaica Plain, so she would have the very thick and harsh sounding accent. www.atforumz.com /showthread.php?t=178834   (750 words)

Welcome to Mooseport (2004) Not only is the entire cast devoid of accent (and come on, a Maine accent is among the easiest to learn), but the film was shot in southern Ontario, and, well, two words: pine trees. Right away, we know that Mooseport is a quirky town, because one elderly resident jogs naked through the town every morning, and nobody bats an eye. A strange assortment of characters asks him to take over as mayor, but when he unknowingly asks his plumber's girlfriend (Maura Tierney) on a date, the handyman—literally, his name is Handy (Ray Romano)—decides to give him some competition. www.reel.com /movie.asp?MID=138786&buy=closed&Tab=reviews&CID=13   (775 words)
