Wiltshire Response Books
Description
Response books, completed in ms. phonetic script, recording the answers of informants from Survey of English Dialects (SED) localities in Wiltshire to the Dieth-Orton Questionnaire. Responses were recorded by SED fieldworker John Wright at Ashton Keynes, Sutton Benger, Avebury, Burbage, Steeple Ashton, Netheravon, Sutton Veny, Fovant and White Parish. The response book for Sutton Benger contains an ms. note by Martyn Wakelin concerning informants and editorial procedure. The response book for White Parish includes a black and white photographic portrait of the informant. Each response book bears ms. editorial markings relating to the editing of the recorded responses for publication in the SED Southern Counties Basic Material volume. Response books for Wiltshire were edited by Henk Kylstra in 1960-1961. The response books are retained in the numerical order assigned to SED localities, 32 W 1-9.
