Description
M.A. study of the speech of two informants from Penclawdd and two from Reynoldston (South Wales), interviewed using a questionnaire largely based on the Dieth-Orton Questionnaire (version modified for use in Welsh localities by Anne Chesters, David Parry and Clive Upton, 1968).
Chapter One contains a brief description and history of the Gower Peninsula and the two villages under consideration, followed by a short account of the aims of the survey and the methods by which it was carried out. Chapters Two and Three present the sound systems (vowels and consonants) of both localities, whilst the final chapter offers a discussion and comparison of vowels and consonants in the two localities. An Appendix presents a side-by-side list of vowels of the two villages.
