Description
A study of the dialect spoken in Wellow in Somerset, based on data collected through fieldwork interviews with three principal informants.
An introduction to the village and the informants is followed by five chapters which record the vowels of stressed syllables, the development of Middle English sounds in the dialect (vowels of stressed and unstressed syllables, consonantal system), and present a tabular summary of the Old English, Middle English, Scandinavian and Old French equivalents of the stressed vowels in the Wellow dialect. An index of words recorded in the study and an Ordnance Survey map (Wellow, Sheet ST 75) are included.
