The Phonology and Grammar of the Dialect of South Zeal, Devonshire
Description
A thesis which describes the phonology, morphology and syntax of the Devonshire dialect spoken in the village of South Zeal, based on a corpus of tape recorded material (c. 20 hours) collected through fieldwork interviews with two male informants. The thesis was submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of London, in September 1967. The study is divided into eleven chapters. A General Introduction includes information on the informants and the fieldwork methodology employed. Further chapters cover segmental phonology, supra-segmental phonology, personal pronouns and adjectives (morphology and syntax), the demonstratives (morphology and syntax), negatives and indefinites (morphology and syntax), the prepositional phrase, the morphology of the verb, the syntax of the verb, the phrasal verb and the syntax of the clause. Three appendices concern the morphology of the irregular verbs, phonetic and phonemic transcriptions of an extract from one of the informant's tape recorded conversations, and specimen suprasegmental analysis.
