Description
Response books, completed in ms. phonetic script, recording the answers of informants from Survey of English Dialects (SED) localities in Cornwall to the Dieth-Orton Questionnaire. Responses were recorded by SED fieldworker John Wright at Kilkhampton, Altarnun, Egloshayle, St. Ewe, Gwinear, St. Buryan and Mullion.
Each response book bears ms. editorial markings relating to the editing of the recorded responses for publication in the SED Southern Counties Basic Material volume. Response books for Cornwall were edited by Martyn Wakelin in 1962.
The response books are retained in the numerical order assigned to SED localities, 36 Co 1-7.
Access and usage
Reproduction
Access
This item is fragile and may be unavailable on conservation grounds. Access is at the discretion of the Conservation Officer. A digital surrogate is linked to the catalogue record.
Many of the response books are damaged and fragile, with loose bindings, covers and pages. The duplicate response books (held at LAVC/SED/2/3) should be consulted in the first instance. Original response books will only be made available for consultation if markings in the duplicates are not legible. Records for the duplicate response books have not been created below subseries level as they literally duplicate the data found in the original response books. The duplicate response books share the same final reference numbers as the originals, e.g. Northumberland original response books are held at LAVC/SED/2/2/1; duplicates are held at LAVC/SED/2/3/1.
