The Living Dialect of Steeple, Essex: A Descriptive and Historical Survey
Description
A study of the dialect spoken in the village of Steeple, Essex, based on fieldwork interviews undertaken in the summer of 1971, and data gathered from three principal informants. An introduction to the village and the informants is followed by three chapters which present a descriptive account of the sounds used in the dialect recorded in 1971, the development of Middle English sounds in the Steeple dialect (vowels of stressed syllables), and a tabular summary of the Old English, Middle English, Scandinavian and Old French equivalents of the stressed vowels of the Steeple dialect. An Index of Words includes all the words used for the purposes of illustration in the study.
