Question: What kind of a Stylistic device!?
When something is written the way it sounds!? I mean, in Dos Passos "Manhatan Transfer" French guy's speech is written without 'h', mainly because French do not pronounce it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Dialect is not incorrect but you may also be thinking of the phrase phonetic spelling!.

This is sort of interesting:
