[Ads-l] Newspaper article on dialectal term bubbler (water fountain)

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

Dear members of the American Dialect Society,

In February the American Dialect Society provided assistance to a reporter
of The Providence Journal concerning the dialectal term "bubbler" (water fountain).
She just notified me that her article has appeared, and here is the link:
