The Phonology of the Dialect of Randwick in the County of Gloucestershire
Description
A study of the dialect spoken in Randwick in Gloucestershire, based on data collected through fieldwork interviews with four local people during the Easter and summer of 1960. An introduction to the village and the informants is followed by five chapters which present a descriptive account of the sounds of the dialect recorded in 1960, 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 1960, and present a tabular summary of Old English, Middle English, Old French and Scandinavian equivalents of the stressed vowels in the Randwick dialect. An Appendix presents information on prosodic lengthening, and is followed by a Word List. Postcard prints of the village and photographs of three of the informants are included.
