Devon Response Books
Description
Response books, completed in ms. phonetic script, recording the answers of informants from Survey of English Dialects (SED) localities in Devon to the Dieth-Orton Questionnaire.

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.
