Linguistic Atlases

Description

From an early stage, Harold Orton saw the collection of dialect data and its presentation in map form as parts of the same process, and thus his lectures would necessarily cover the range of activities involved, from creating a questionnaire, through fieldwork collecting, data collation and interpretation, to publication as a linguistic atlas. His own papers on the Survey and the proposed atlas are here filed with (map) examples from other linguistic atlases already in print. Several of the papers in this sub-subseries duplicate those contained in LAVC/SED/1/3/2. This sub-subseries also contains papers written by other dialect researchers, in England and Sweden, and items relating to Orton's teaching in North America in 1953-54. The larger part of this sub-subseries was created during the period 1940-1967.
