Worcestershire Response Books
Description
Response books, completed in ms. phonetic script, recording the answers of informants from Survey of English Dialects (SED) localities in Worcestershire to the Dieth-Orton Questionnaire. Responses were recorded by SED fieldworker Donald Sykes at Romsley, Hartlebury, Hanbury, Clifton upon Teme, Earls Croome, Offenham and Bretforton. The response book for Bretforton recorded by Peter Wright in 1951 may be based on an early version of the published Questionnaire. Each response book bears ms. editorial markings relating to the editing of the recorded responses for publication in the SED West Midlands Counties Basic Material volume. Response books for Worcestershire were edited by Michael Barry in 1965. The response books are retained in the numerical order assigned to SED localities, 16 Wo 1-7.
