Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is concerned with one of the few thorough-going Labovian studies carried out in Britain. Based on a survey of over hundred randomly selected informants from the towns of Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield, it deals first with the methodology employed, and then sketches some aspects of the ‘traditional’ dialects of the area before describing a large number of variables. Other non-standard features encountered during the survey are described, since these too are part of the changing patterns of speech in West Yorkshire. The final chapter draws a distinction between ‘dialect’ and ‘accent’ which is slightly different from that generally employed, and suggests that while ‘dialect’ features seem to have declined under the pressure of the standard language, ‘accent’ still persists as a social differentiator.

This book was released on 2005-10-12 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1-, University of Hamburg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Proseminar: English Dialects, language: English, abstract: “Emily Brontë’s only novel is considered to be one of the most powerful and enigmatic works in English literature.” (Alexander/Smith 2003: 553)Wuthering Heights(first published in 1847) is indeed a very powerful novel which is to its greatest part achieved by its setting in the Yorkshire moors and the realistic representation of the local transactions. Emily Jane Brontë was born in 1818; at the age of two she moved with her family to Ha-worth, West Riding of Yorkshire. Except for a few short journeys, Emily Brontë stayed in Yorkshire all her life and could thus vividly describe her Yorkshire surroundings as the setting of her novel. Furthermore, the Yorkshire dialect (based on Haworth dialect) in the speech of some of her characters adds to the completeness of the novel’s setting (Waddin gton-Feather 2004: 1). Most characters in the novel use a dialect word or phrase every now and then; Joseph, however, speaks Yorkshire dialect almost exclusively. Joseph is the old servant at Wuthering Heights (which is both, the name of the novel and that of the house). Joseph is very religious and loyal to whoever is his master at the time. Ac-cording to Ellen Dean, the housekeeper at Wuthering Heig hts, he is “the wearisomest, selfrighteous Pharisee that ever ransacked a Bible to rake the promises to himself and fling the curses on his neighbours.” (Brontë 1994: 48-49) Hence, Joseph is an ambiguous character in the mind of the reader: on the one hand, he is always grumpy, quite harsh and even mean at times; on the other hand, he is an old man who is always truthful and loyal ; it seems he is always as good a person as his respective master is. Joseph’s use of dia lect reflects the roughness of Wuthering Heights and its surroundings. The old man speaks an old dialect and lives in the old farmhouse. The house is habitable but not comfortable and it is always exposed to stormy weather. The same holds true for Joseph’s dialect: it is intelligible but not easy to understand and it is constantly looked down upon by the higher classes. Joseph’s dialect sounds quite rough although there is a certain beauty in it, just like the Yorkshire moors are said to be rough but beautiful. Finally, it suggests a lack of education if a speaker uses dialect solely, as Joseph does. Nonetheless, Joseph and his dialect resist all the storms which approach throughout the novel.

This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Tales and Ballads in the Yorkshire Dialect: Known Also as Inglis, the Language of the Angles, and the Northumbrian Dialect; Spoken to-Day in Yorkshire, and in Early Times From South Yorkshire to Aberdeen The ancient element of this volume makes necessary the statement of the fact that these Tales and Ballads are all throughout entirely my own original work. My Historical Introduction will Show the dialect I have written herein, the which is known also as Inglis, the language of the Angles, and the Northumbrian dialect, Spoken to-day in Yorkshire, and in early times from South Yorkshire to Aberdeen, is a rare and signal inheritance - the language of a race pre eminently the English of the English. A modern national language is a survival of one or more of the several ancient dialects. Neither the language of the Saxons of Wessex nor the Older language of the early English - the Angles, whose speech was Spoken from Aberdeen even down to the Midlands, came to be the nationally surviving dialect. The East Midland variety it was that survived. Tendency towards the adoption of the English now common was manifest in writers as early as Chaucer; and literary men being invariably scholars writing for those who might understand words of Greek, Latin, and French association, their English, even at a time when it yet preserved archaic early English forms, gave us a Latinized English - neither purely Anglian nor Saxon. The Yorkshire dialect, which is a survival of Inglis, as its Scots writers called the language of the Angles or early English, and of what is also known as the Northern dialect, owes absolutely nothing of its present oral preservation to literary transcriptions. My chapter on the pronunciation makes ascertainable the distance Modern English, and the Yorkshire dialect as spoken to-oday, are from each other, and.
