Accents and Dialects

Was chatting with les about something totally unrelated when the conversation turned to accents..specifically my queens accent.
I sometimes think it might sound a bit harsh...but for some reason I said I think it is a combo brooklyn/queens accent. (that's my theory anyway)
He mentioned how there is NY irish and NY jewish.
So I said how my (irish catholic) mom once told me I sounded like an old brooklyn jew. My mom grew up in a catholic orphanage in brooklyn and also has said that she thinks there is a such thing as an institutional accent or dialect. I seem to remember her saying she hated it and never thought she spoke it, but then would sometimes hear it come out of one of our mouths on occassion.
Having been exposed to the cop culture for many years...I have always maintained that there is a definite cop dialect and language...I like to refer to as cop- ese.

So, I found myself thinking on all this today. And I think the cop - ese is somewhat derivitive of the NY irish...I guess stereotypically the NY Irish cop. But I do think there is something to it.

Anyhow, it made me think how it would be an interesting thing to study...
