For example, Yager et al. (2015) cite the following examples to illustrate this phenomenon:  "Example 1" shows that Wisconsin German still contains some instances of dative. In "Example 2" a neuter indefinite article has been selected; however it is unclear if it is in the nominative or accusative case. This is a departure from Standard German, where a dative neuter article ("einem") would be used. This is an example of a restructuring of the DOM in Wisconsin German. "Example 3" illustrates innovative case marking: instead of a dative neuter definite article ("dem"), a distinctly masculine accusative definite article has been selected. Heritage speakers could have selected a nominative ("das"), accusative ("das") or dative article ("dem"), but instead not only select an accusative marking but also a masculine article. This pattern has appeared not only with a single group of heritage speakers, but rather can be found in speakers of different German dialects (such as the Rhenish Hesse, Eifel, and Low German dialects). One of the first recordings of Wisconsin German dialects was made in the 1940s by Lester "Smoky" Seifert, a professor of German at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Seifert, an East Low German speaker, recorded over 100 written interviews with Wisconsin German speakers, in which he included both linguistic and cultural questions.
