Differences in speech between ‘big’ and ‘large’ have been described in some dictionaries and usage studies. Summarizing these descriptions, ‘big’ is more informal, colloquial, juvenile, or emotional while ‘large’ is more formal, bookish, dignified, or descriptive. However, these descriptions, except those from Hattori (1968), are too general and not concerned with the environment in which ‘big’ and ‘large’ concur with the same nouns and pronouns. Hattori gives the examples of nouns which concur with both ‘big’ and ‘large’ and shows the difference in meaning (without using the word ‘speech’) but does not identify them as ‘uneducated’ or ‘educated.’ This paper will propose and clarify the necessity of ‘uneducated’ and ‘educated’ as speech through an investigation of examples in The Color Purple, which features African-American English, American Southern dialect as well as standard English.
