PITTSFIELD, Mass. — On May 29 at 6:30 pm, the Berkshire County Historical Society welcomes linguist Wren Wood to Arrowhead for a lecture demonstrating how we can hear Melville's dialect in samples of his work, even without audio recording. 
 
Tickets are $5 for BCHS members, $10 for non-members and can be purchased by using the BOOK NOW button at berkshirehistory.org
 
 Wren Wood is a linguist and webmaster for the Chicopee Historical Society. They use maps, statistics and linguistics to encourage discussions around local history and historic preservation, which can be found on Instagram @FollowingMassHistories.
 
Prior to moving to Western Massachusetts, they used GIS to study bilingualism and threatened languages in the U.S. They earned a bachelor's in English from Bridgewater State University and a master's in Hispanic Linguistics from the University of New Mexico.
