  • Sociophonetic Variation, Orientation and Topic in County Durham
    Sociophonetic Variation, Orientation and Topic in County Durham Thomas Patrick Devlin PhD University of York Language and Linguistic Science September 2014 Abstract This thesis presents a sociophonetic study of four villages in County Durham which have not previously been explored in sociolinguistic literature. As well as examining socially- conditioned phonological variation across the villages, the study analyses the linguistic relationship between the research site and two larger localities with their own urban varieties of English, which are situated at either side of the research area: the city of Sunderland to the north and the Teesside conurbation to the south. The study examines phonological variability in the linguistic production of a socially-homogeneous group of thirty-two speakers, split equally across the four villages and stratified by emically-defined age groups. More than 6500 tokens of the MOUTH, FACE, GOAT and START variables (following Wells’ 1982 method of classifying sets of vowels) are analysed from recorded sociolinguistic interviews with informants. The findings are compared to previous sociolinguistic investigations of other varieties of North East English in terms of the levelling of variants local to the area. The established methodological comparison of read speech and conversational styles is complemented by detailed investigation of the conversational topic in which the production occurs, and its effect on phonological variation. An Identity Questionnaire (pioneered by Llamas 2001) explores identity construction in County Durham and how this is shaped by local speech patterns. This is achieved by surveying speakers’ individual attitudes and perceptions about their local area and accents. The correlation of this language ideology data and speakers’ actual linguistic performance allows the study to assess the role orientation plays in variant usage.

    [s] NEWSLETTER OF THE AMERICAN DIALECT [z] SOCIETY Volume 5 Number 1 February 1973 [s] NEWSLETTER OF THE AMERICAN DIALECT SOCIETY [z] Volume 5 Number 1 February 1973 THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Delivered by Harold B. Allen at the ADS Annual Meeting December 27, 1972 Let me begin with some personal experiences that are rele­ vant to the concerns that bring us together here in New York so soon after Christmas. You may recall that David Maurer's serious automobile accident two years ago led to my chairing the meeting during the second year of his presidency. At that time I was preparing a lecture for the English instructors of a couple of thousand foreign military personnel at our Lackland Air Force base in Texas. Its theme was the need to revise the teaching of English as a second language by providing the teachers with at least minimal information about the accepted regional varieties of American English so that they could thereby modify some of their classroom practices. At the Chicago meeting a year ago I referred to my just having returned from Iran, where at the University of Tehran I had lectured on American English and its variations, during a period of consultancy regarding a graduate program to prepare professional Iranian teachers of English. We meet today less than a week after my return from Debrecen, Hungary, where at Lajos Kossuth University during the past month I lectured for twenty-six hours on the characteristics of American English, besides giving one open university lecture on the topic of British and American English.

The freedom he gained on retirement from the onerous cares of departmental administration and the University governing bodies on which he served has given him time to do more of what he regards as real work. His dedication to the study of English dialects and his application to the wider field of dialectology have been lifelong. His reassurance to generations of students that their academic interest in dialect would give them "a hobby for life" has been witnessed in his own experience. Dialect has indeed been his hobby, but a hobby pursued with a wholeheartedness and enthusiasm that have resulted in a tremendous contribution to the knowledge of his chosen subject. In his book on Byers Green dialect the scholarly chapters do not over­ shadow the practical reality of his fieldwork on the touchlines of the football field of his native village. His father was the schoolmaster of Byers Green, near Bishop Auckland, County Durham, and in the language of the mining community there existed an enormous body of material worthy of investigation. In his boyhood, Harold was a keen footballer and has been known to claim enough ability to have become a professional.

  • Prince Louis-Lucien Bonaparte and English Dialectology
    PRINCE LOUIS -LUCIEN BONAPARTE AND ENGLISH DIALECTOLOGY Wolfgang VIERECK Otto-Friedrich Universität Bamberg LABURPENA Ez da ezaguna Luis-Luzien Bonaparte printzea ingles dialektoen ikerketan aitzindari izan zenik. Harold Orton-ekin batera II. Mundu-gerraren ondoren egin zen Survey of English Dialects lanaren kofundatzailea izan zen Eugen Dieth-ek berak ez zuen printzearen lana aipatu ere egin 1947an idatzi zuen artikulu luzcan. Printzeak XIX. mendearen erdialdera Bibliaren zati batzuk ingeles dialekto askotara (baita beste hizkuntza batzuetara ere) itzultzeaz gain, gramatikaren ezaugarrietan, bereziki izan aditzaren formetan oinarrituz ingeles dialektoak sailkatu zituen lehe- nengoa izan zen. 1876 eta 1877 urteetan argitaratu zituen lehenengo mapak. Bere lana eta ideiak printzearen garaikideen lanekin alderatuz eztabaidatuko dira eta ikuspegi modernoekin daukaten zerikusia eta ingeles dialektologian izan zituen emaitzak aztertuko. RESUMEN El hecho de que el Príncipe Louis-Lucien Bonaparte fuera un precursor en lo que se refiere al estudio de los dialectos del inglés no ha recibido la atención que se merece. Incluso Eugen Dieth, co-fundador con Harold Orton tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, del "Survey of English dialects" (Estudios sobre los dialectos ingleses), omite señalar el trabajo del Príncipe en su extenso artículo publicado en 1947. El Príncipe no sólo tradujo fragmentos de la Biblia a varios dialectos del Inglés (así como a otros idiomas) a mediados del siglo XIX, sino que fue también el primero en clasificarlos, basándose en peculiaridades gramaticales, especialmente en las for- mas del verbo be. Su trabajo dio lugar a la publicación de dos mapas pioneros en 1876 y 1877. Se estudia su obra y sus ideas en relación con sus contemporáneos y se muestra la conexión con los planteamientos modernos así como los resultados de investigación sobre la dialectología del inglés británico.

  • The BBC 'Voices'
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Leeds Unit of Assessment: 29: English Language and Literature Title of case study: The BBC ‘Voices’ Projects: Transforming the public and professional understanding of the nation’s speech 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) This case study describes a unique collaboration between Professor Clive Upton and researchers at the University of Leeds, the BBC and the British Library (BL), examining language variation. As a result of a programme assembling and researching the largest recorded archive of dialects and speech patterns assembled in the UK, two major interlinked forms of impact were generated: i. Informing public understanding of dialect and English language use, thereby validating diverse regional and national identities. ii. Contributing to the professional practice and goals of the BBC and the BL through policy enhancement, training, and developing broadcast and exhibition content. 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) Professor Upton (appointed as Lecturer in Language in 1997, since 2012 Emeritus Professor) is a leading dialectologist whose research has been shaped by, and in turn advanced, the 65-year renowned study of English dialect at the University of Leeds. Upton’s expertise lies in regional English dialectal variation; he has acted as pronunciation consultant for the Oxford English Dictionary and with responsibility for the British element of the Oxford Dictionary of Pronunciation for Current English. His research has captured and explored social attitudes towards variation; elucidated the importance of the means and media by which dialectical variation is recorded and analysed; and has significantly expanded the data to evidence the continuing vitality of local variation.

  • Payne SED Notebooks
    The Survey of English Dialects Notebooks K. J. PAYNE 1. Introduction This paper results from a study of the dialect of the county of Gloucestershire, as found in the Survey of English Dialects (SED). The fieldwork for the SED was completed in the 1950s, and its results published as the Basic Material (BM)1 during the 1960s. The fieldworkers recorded their findings in notebooks, copies of which were examined for the seven SED localities in Gloucestershire and adjacent ones in neighbouring counties. During the course of this study it soon became clear that the notebooks are an important resource in their own right, containing as they do both extra and different information from that published in BM. What follows is an attempt to indicate some of the ways in which a consideration of the notebooks is valuable; examples are taken from the records made by the fieldworkers in Gloucestershire and adjacent localities. The informants will be referred to by initials, as they are in BM, though the notebooks give their names and sometimes a fairly clear indication of their address; exceptions are where the informant’s name is given in a quotation or, as in Section 3 below, where the name of the informant is shown on a copy of the notebook page heading. The structure of the notebooks can be seen from Figures 1 and 2 below: the left half of the page records the answer to the question posed by the fieldworker; the column on the right allows the fieldworker to record incidental material (i.m.), some of which was subsequently included in the published Basic Material.

Kretzschmar, Jr. Abstract We rely on our teachers and admire their achievements in the first generation of dialectology, and now must decide how to proceed into the next generation. Language variation is not going away, and in order to deal with it most effectively we should consider three things: 1) our theoretical position; 2) our collection, encoding, and analysis of data; and 3) our presentation of data and results. In theory we should recognize that we are doing something different from our generativist and structuralist colleagues, and should ally ourselves with other linguists doing empirical research. We should make best use of emerging technologies in our data handling, and we should improve on first-generation procedures through use of discourse interviews, execution of valid survey research methods, and collection of speech perception as well as speech production data. We should create SGML-tagged transcripts of interviews. We should attempt to analyze our data as we go, with emphasis on quantitative methods but without reliance on any one best analytical method. Finally, we should make every effort to share our data and results with the public, which is badly in need of better information about their language. Contemporary work in dialectology should always reflect the achievements of our teachers in the first generation of work on Linguistic Atlases.
