Durham Response Books
Description
Response books, completed in ms. phonetic script, recording the answers of informants from Survey of English Dialects (SED) localities in Durham to the Dieth-Orton Questionnaire. Responses were recorded by SED fieldworker Stanley Ellis at Washington, Ebchester, Wearhead, Witton-le-Wear, Bishop Middleham and Eggleston. Each response book bears ms. editorial markings relating to the editing of the recorded responses for publication in the SED Northern Counties Basic Material volume. Response books for Durham were edited by Harold Orton and Wilfrid J. Halliday, ca. 1955. The response books are retained in the numerical order assigned to SED localities, 3 Du 1-6.
