The Living Dialect of Groby in Leicestershire
Description
A study of the dialect spoken in the Leicestershire village of Groby, based on fieldwork interviews with four local inhabitants. An introduction to the village and the informants (including photographs) is followed by three chapters which present a description of the sounds of the Groby dialect recorded in 19[72], describe the development of Middle English vowels in the living dialect (vowels of stressed syllables), and present a tabular summary of Old English, Middle English, Scandinavian and Old French equivalents of the stressed vowels in the Groby dialect. A list of words recorded in the survey is included.
