Monmouthshire Response Books
Description
Response books, completed in ms. phonetic script, recording the answers of informants from Survey of English Dialects (SED) localities in Monmouthshire to the Dieth-Orton Questionnaire. Responses were recorded by SED fieldworkers Donald Sykes (1955) and David Parry (1960) at Skenfrith, Llanellen, Raglan, Crosskeys, Llanfrechfa, Shirenewton and Newport. Newport was not included as an SED locality in the Basic Material, but the response book for Newport was held with the response books that were used. Each response book bears ms. editorial markings relating to the editing of the recorded responses for publication in the SED West Midlands Counties Basic Material volume. Response books for Monmouthshire were edited by Michael Barry in 1965. The response books are retained in the numerical order assigned to SED localities, 23 Mo 1-7.
