Papers (and such) available for download
This page contains links to some of the papers
I’ve written and posters I’ve presented
at conferences. (One day I plan to get transparencies and
handouts—remember when presentation handouts were the norm?—from
oral presentations on this page, but they aren’t here yet.) I
don’t have an even remotely comprehensive set of my work here,
since I’ve only listed papers that I’m legally allowed to
distribute electronically and have in an easily
distributable electronic format, but this should give you some
idea of the sorts of things I’ve done. All files are in PDF
format unless otherwise noted; those marked with an asterisk (*)
are links to repositories on other sites.

change over the lifespan: A test of the apparent time
construct. In Suzanne Evans Wagner (ed.), Papers
from NWAV 33, 45–58. Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania: University of Pennsylvania Working Papers in
Linguistics.
- This links to what I think of as the
“corrected version” (as opposed to the *published version), because it
corrects a couple of page formatting issues that were in
what came out in print, as well as an unimportant but
annoying typo. (The content and pagination is no different
from the published version, though.) Note that the
orientation of the file is a bit odd—it only covers half the
page and it’s sideways. This is not an error.
- *Bowie, David. 2003. Perception and production in processes of
merger. In Lynn E. Henrichsen (ed.), Selected

- Bowie, David. 2000. The
effect of geographic mobility on the retention of a local
dialect. PhD dissertation (Linguistics), University of
Pennsylvania.
- Note that this file is not the same as
the PDF downloadable through ProQuest’s digital
dissertation service. Most notably, that file has the copies
of the dissertation committee’s signatures on the title
page. On the other hand, this version is a much smaller file
(6 megabytes versus less than 1), is searchable,
retains detail in some greyscale images that didn’t
reproduce well in the “official” copy, and uses color in
some charts where it helps clarity (as well as a number of
places where I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of it).
- Bowie, David. 1997. Keeping
track of Pennsylvania German: A discussion of evidences
found in A linguistic atlas of Pennsylvania German.
Unpublished ms.
- This is actually only a reproduction in HTML
format of a final paper for a graduate course, and is
therefore (to put it mildly) not the most polished thing
I’ve ever written, but I’ve put it on this page in case
the data is ever useful for anyone else.

Developments in the vowel system of Pennsylvania German.
