For example, the author could show the character as a very young child with rudimentary speaking skills, so when in the literature work the child speaks, instead of "mom, I don't want that", the author would use "mommy, I no wanna!"
Dialect can also be used to show the cultural context that the work takes place in. For example, in "Their Eyes Were Watching God", the author gives the various black characters a accent to show the unique black dialect that existed in that time period in the South.
