Since words have multiple meanings, the context of a
word often clues its meaning better than the dictionary's
definition. In the following lines from Anne Bradstreet's
poem, "To Her Father with Some Verses," what is the
best definition for principal?
"Most truly honored, and as truly dear,
If worth in me or ought I do appear,
Who can of right better demand the same
Than may your worthy self from whom it came?
The principal might yield a greater sum,
Yet handled ill, amounts but to this crumb;
My stock's so small I know not how to pay,
My bond remains in force unto this day."

All of a sudden, my bruddah start screaming, 'Get down from deah. No good. Da rocks sacred." This passage reflects a Hawaiian Pidgin English dialect, which is associated with author D. Cedric Yamanaka.
21. The passage: "Unmoved, she notes the chariot's pausing at her low gate; unmoved, an emperor is kneeling upon her mat." does not contain any distinct regional dialect and is written in standard English. Therefore, it cannot be associated with any specific author.
The passage that matches Mark Twain is: "'The feller took the money and started away; and when he was going out at the door, he sorter jerked his thumb over his shoulder--so--at Dan'l, and says again, very deliberate, 'Well,' he says, 'I don't see no p'ints about that frog that's any better'n any other frog.'" Mark Twain often used Southern dialect in his writings.
