'Through the use of orthography intended to represent dialectal
pronunciations.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Nelson_Page:  Slaves are happy and
simple, slotted into a paternalistic society. For example, the former slave
in  Marse Chan [by Thomas Nelson Page, 1884]  is uneducated, speaks
phonetically, and has unrelenting admiration for his former master.

(Note too Inglish use of "slotted into.")
