Description

A study of the dialect spoken in the village of Shotesham [All Saints] in Norfolk, based on data collected through fieldwork interviews with nine informants from the village. An introduction to the village and some of the informants is followed by four chapters which present a descriptive account of the sounds in the dialect recorded in 19[75], describe the development of Middle English sounds in the living dialect (vowels of stressed and unstressed syllables), and present a tabular summary of Old English, Old French, Scandinavian, Latin and Middle English equivalents of the stressed vowels in the Shotesham dialect. A Word List is included.
