The Living Dialect of Hutton Rudby, Cleveland in the North Riding of Yorkshire
Description
A study of the dialect spoken in Hutton Rudby, in the old North Riding of Yorkshire, based on interviews with four inhabitants of the village in 1957. An introduction to the village and the area, and the informants, is followed by five chapters which present a descriptive account of the sounds of the dialect recorded in 1957, describe the development of Middle English sounds in the living dialect (vowels of stressed and unstressed syllables), describe changes in consonantal sounds from the Old and Middle English periods down to 1957, and present a tabular summary of Old English, Middle English, Scandinavian and Old French equivalents of stressed vowels in the living dialect. The first of two appendices presents phonetic and orthographic transcriptions of passages from a tape-recorded interview with one of the collector's informants, made in September 1957, and subsequently copied onto a gramophone disc. The second appendix lists place names in the Langbergh wapontake. A Word List is included.
