Description
A study of the dialect spoken in the village of Cloughton, North Yorkshire, based on data collected through conversations with friends and acquaintances, and one principal informant.
An introduction to the village and the principal informant is followed by five chapters which present a descriptive account of the sounds of the dialect recorded in 19[80], describe the development of Middle English sounds in the living dialect (vowels of stressed and unstressed syllables), the changes in consonantal sounds from the Old and Middle English periods down to 1981, and present a tabular summary of the Middle English equivalents of the stressed vowels in the dialect with Old French and Scandinavian origins. A Word List is included. Two postcard prints show views of the village.
