Description
A study of the dialect spoken in the village of New Hartley in Northumberland, based on interviews with four local informants.
An introduction to the village and the informants is followed by three chapters which present a description of the sounds of the New Hartley dialect (the vowel system, consonants), dialectal representations of Middle English vowel sounds in stressed syllables (recorded in 19[71]), and a summary of the New Hartley equivalents of the stressed vowel sounds of Middle English. Two appendices contain a glossary of recorded words and phrases associated with mining, and a list of local expressions (both recorded phonetically, as given by the informants). An Index, Word List and photographs of the informants are included.
