Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Folk Speech of East Yorkshire Before the construction Of roads and railways, and more perfect drainage, the towns and villages of East Yorkshire, especially in the low-lying parts, between the Wolds and the sea, were isolated and cut off from communication one with another, by the boggy marshy state Of the country and thus an archaic form of speech has been preserved. You may yet find an aged person who has never been out of the village toon he very properly calls it) in which he was born. Such an one is the very incarnation of the dialect. The Riding of the Stang (p. 8) was performed on February 18, 19, and 20, 1889, at Hedon, a small ancient borough.

This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vowel-Sounds of the East Yorkshire Folk-Speech In the third place we have the well-known aft-sound, the foreign a, which is heard in the dialect most perfectly in the personal pronoun I (aft), which is the same form of that pronoun as is heard in the dialect of West Jutland. It is rather a remarkable fact that this sound is heard for the most part, not in words which in ordinary English are spelt with the letter a, but in those which are Spelt with an i thus, for example, bide, time, side, rive, with many more like them, become on York shire tongues baizd, talzm, sa/zd, rain/e. It is, moreover, curious that many words spelt with a, and in Southern England pronounced with the aft-sound, in Yorkshire take quite a different, and much less open vowel-sound. For instance, grass, fast, last, which in Southern Eng land would be sounded g'rafzss, fakst, lakst, with us would be grass, fast, last, the vowel here having the same sound as in sand. It may be added that the sounding of such words as those last named is common with all classes of Yorkshiremen.

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yorkshire Folk Talk It will be at once seen that many words, idioms, and grammatical as well as other usages, noticed in these pages, may be found in other parts of England also. To have inserted those which are peculiar to East Yorkshire only would have been wellnigh an im possibility: my rule, therefore, has been to give any which deviated in some way from the usage of ordi nary English; even thus difficulties arose, for it was not in every case apparent whether a word or phrase should be reckoned as dialectic or not. On this point opinions will differ. The Glossary will be found to contain not far short of two thousand words, and there are throughout the volume about twelve hundred original examples of the dialect. By far the greater portion of these I have heard at various times from the lips of the country-folk themselves, many of whom have most willingly given me information in cases of doubt.

Download or read book Dialect Glossary of Over 4 000 Words and Idioms written by Richard Blakeborough and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dialect Glossary of Over 4, 000 Words and Idioms: Now in Use in the North Riding of Yorkshire Nearly half a century ago the writer began collecting the dialect words which he heard fall from the lips of the old folk at whose firesides he daily sat. In the course of time the list grew until something like five hundred words had been jotted down. About that time a Yorkshire Reading came into his possession. This contained a two-page glossary of about forty words, alphabetically arranged. Dating from that time, the idea of compiling a glossary was conceived. The result is the present work. So far as the compiler knows, no popular work of this character has been published. That a growing desire for such a glossary exists he fully believes. During the last ten or fifteen years the interest taken in the Folk Speech has greatly increased. Many there be who have come to know and appreciate the forcefulness and antiquity of that which, during the past, they unthinkingly, and for want of knowledge, considered as nothing better and nothing beyond the vulgar speech of the untutored country-folk. Latterly, however, a more intelligent acquaintance with the Folk Speech has brought about a new order of things. The discovery has been made that language is subject to the law of change - of fashion if you like. Hence, much which has been judged as vulgar had no better foundation in support of such a verdict than deploiable ignorance. For a moment let us consider the matter from one single standpoint, and this fact presents itself. Much of the early literature, both sacred and profane, proves beyond all doubt that the rude language of to-day was the polite speech of our forefathers. Again and again, in the works of those authors, whose MSS. date from 1400 to 1600, do we find their most brilliant thoughts presented to us in language which for generations has been considered unworthy of a place in polite literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk Lore of East Yorkshire The learning of the common folk, acquired by tradition, experience, or observation, and epitomised under the comprehensive title of Folk Lore, has, in these late years, received much attention, and its study has been prosecuted with due diligence and increasing interest. Learning and culture have given their invaluable aid, and scholars have traversed the treasures of the past, and have shewn us that the hoary antiquity of the Pyramids is not whiter than that which is borne by some of our nursery tales; that many of these tales are world wide; and that old customs, speech, and beliefs, linger with a tenacity which is difficult to loosen. The superstitious Welsh miners in the Morfa Colliery, who caused a special examination of the pit to be made, in consequence of "spirits and noises and slamming of doors," previous to the disastrous explosion, are but typical of the great mass of people whose lives are more governed by folk lore than by book lore.
