The Living Dialect of Brigstock in Northamptonshire
Description
A study of the dialect spoken in Brigstock in Northamptonshire, based on data collected through fieldwork interviews with three local informants. An introduction to the village and the three informants is followed by four chapters which present a descriptive account of the sounds of the dialect recorded in 19[73], describe the development of Middle English sounds in the living dialect (vowels of stressed and unstressed syllables), and present a tabular summary of Old English, Middle English, Scandinavian and Old French equivalents of the stressed vowels in the Brigstock dialect. A Word List is included.
