Description
A study of the dialect spoken in Halewood in Lancashire, based on fieldwork data collected by Stanley Ellis in 1954, for the Survey of English Dialects.
An introduction to the village and Ellis' three informants is followed by five chapters which present a descriptive account of the sounds of the Halewood dialect recorded in 1954, describe the development of Middle English sounds in the living dialect (vowels of stressed and unstressed syllables), describe changes in consonantal sounds from the Old and Middle English periods down to 1954, and present a tabular summary of Old English, Middle English, Scandinavian and Old French equivalents of the stressed vowels in the Halewood dialect. A Word List is included.
