Yenz Leonhardt
''Yinz'' (see below for other spellings) is a second-person plural pronoun used mainly in Western Pennsylvania English. It is most prominent in Pittsburgh, but it is also found throughout the cultural region known as Appalachia, located within the geographical region of the Appalachians. History and usage ''Yinz'' is a derivation from the original Scots-Irish forms "Yin(s)" (meaning 'One(s)) and related contractions of ''you ones'', ''yous ones'' and ''ye 'uns'', a form of the second-person plural that is commonly heard in Scotland, Ulster and parts of Ireland and Northern England. In the first- and third-person, standard English speakers use distinct pronouns to denote singular and plural. In the first person, for example, speakers use the singular ''I'' and the plural ''we''. However, the second-person pronoun ''you'' performs a double duty since it is both the singular form and the plural form. Crozier (1984) suggests that during the 19th century, when many Irish-speakers swit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
