The Phonology of the Dialect of Herriard, North Hampshire: A Descriptive and Historical Survey
Description
A study of the dialect spoken in the village of Herriard in Hampshire, based on data collected through fieldwork interviews with one local informant. An introduction to the village and the informant is followed by five chapters which present a descriptive account of the sounds of the dialect recorded in 19[82], 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 1983, and present a tabular summary of Old English, Middle English, Scandinavian and Old French equivalents of the stressed vowels in the Herriard dialect. A Word Index is included. Reference is made in the Introduction to the use of a tape recorder during fieldwork. No tapes were submitted with the study, however.
