(Kate Chopin).Craig M. Carver, the author ofAmerican Regional Dialects, points out that the word gallery, from Old French galerie, was borrowed into British English in the 5th century and was brought over to the American colonies by English-speaking settlers.Although the word in the sense .porch. did not survive in the American English of the East Coast,it was borrowed separately, probably from Acadian French,into the English of 8th-century Louisianaand there survived as part of the Gulf Southern dialect.在得克萨斯州、阿肯色州、路易斯安那州、密西西比和南部阿拉巴马，至少在房屋的一侧延伸出来的一种敞开屋顶的门廊被称作gallery： .出了前面的小门廊，她把博比内的最好的衣服晾在那里. （凯特·肖邦）。美国区域方言 的作者克雷格·M·卡弗尔指出 gallery 来源于古代法语 galerie ， 在5世纪借入英语并由讲英语的殖民者带入美国殖民地。虽然该词当作.门廊.的意义没有在东海岸的美式英语中保存下来，但是它很有可能被分开借自阿卡迪亚的法语，并在8世纪进入路易斯安那英语，并在那里保存下来而成为南部港口方言的一部分
