Description
A study of the dialect spoken in Sutton in Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, based on data collected through interviews with four local residents. Findings are compared with data collected by Stanley Ellis in the late 1950s in the nearby village of Stonebroom, Derbyshire, for the Survey of English Dialects.
An introduction to the village of Sutton is followed by five chapters which present a descriptive account of the sounds of the Sutton dialect recorded in 196[1], 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 196[1], and present a tabular summary of Old English, Middle English, Scandinavian and Old French equivalents of the stressed vowels in the Sutton dialect. An Appendix contains a table of pronouns as they appear in the dialect recorded in 196[1], with examples of their use.
