A Historical Survey of the Modern Dialect of Crawshawbooth
Description
A study of the dialect spoken in the village of Crawshawbooth in Lancashire, based on data collected through fieldwork conversations with young and older members of the community. An introduction to the village and some of the informants is followed by four chapters which record the vowels and consonants of the dialect, the development of the sounds of Middle English in the dialect (stressed and unstressed vowels), and present a tabular summary of the Old English, Middle English, Scandinavian and Old French equivalents of the stressed vowels in the Crawshawbooth dialect. An Index of Words is included.
