Scouse-English Glossary Free FREE SCOUSE-ENGLISH GLOSSARY PDF Fred Fazakerley | 45 pages | 01 Nov 2001 | ABSON BOOKS LONDON | 9780902920941 | English | London, United Kingdom Language of Liverpool – The Influence of Irish on Scouse Scouse-English Glossary previously mentioned, Scouse is an abbreviation of Scouser, Scouse-English Glossary who either speaks the LE variety or originates from Liverpool. However, Scouser is not the only phrase that can be used when describing someone who may speak Scouse or originate from Liverpool. Although to residents of Liverpool, individuals have preferences towards which term identifies them. For example, some individuals may not wish to be labelled as a Liverpudlian Scouse-English Glossary consider Scouse a more appropriate term, as a consequence of Liverpudlians being frequently associated with the supporters of the Liverpool Football Club [5]. On the other hand, some may not wish to identify as a Scouser, instead consider Liverpudlian a more positive term due to the negative stereotypes in the media of Scousers being continuously unemployed or gang members [6]. The LE variety can be heard in and around Liverpool, yet where exactly is Liverpool? The Scouse-English Glossary of Liverpool is also considered to be the central city in the county of Merseyside hence the River Scouse-English Glossaryconnecting to neighbouring counties such as Lancashire, Cheshire and Greater Manchester [7]. However, the city of Liverpool also contains overspill areas in Knowsley such as Bootle and Kirkby, Scouse-English Glossary these areas are not technically within the boundaries of Liverpool, they are often considered to be [4]. This is intrinsically mirrored in the attitudes we have towards the language used by both ourselves and others. LE is one of Scouse-English Glossary most renowned English varieties across the UK, continuing to be recognised across the world thanks to the works of individuals such as The Beatles and Cilla Black, more recently the likes of Stephen Gerrard and Mel C [4]. This negative evaluation of LE is not an absolute representation of attitudes towards Scouse, as the link between attitudes and accents is extremely complicated with multiple levels, as attitudes are influenced by both social and situational location factors [9]. For instance, the attitudes towards Scouse vary between generations; generally older generations to view LE more positively than younger generations [9]. Liverpool did win European Capital of Culture in after all! Helens, Wirral and Skelmersdale [6]. Firstly, the LE variety displays varying intonation ; such intonation among the people of Liverpool is so unique it possesses the privilege of having its own name, the Scouse melody [10]. Just like any other region, LE has its Scouse-English Glossary dialect. Overall, Scouse is Scouse-English Glossary unique variety of English spoken from inhabitants Scouse-English Glossary, and those who originally lived in Liverpool, Merseyside in the North West of England. Attitudes towards the variety differ between both outsiders and inhabitants of Liverpool, with general negative evaluations of the variety from outsiders, yet positive evaluations Scouse-English Glossary with a sense of pride from those who speak the variety. Additionally, Scouse has many interesting features and dialect terms enabling differentiation from other regional variations. Attitudes to regional varieties : Beal, J. Oxon: Routledge.

I bought it because I write detective novels and one of my main protagonists is a Scouser. I wanted to get the dialect right! This book has been helpful in that respect, but some of the usages seem to be out of date compared with what my Scouse friends Scouse-English Glossary say. Also a lot of the supposedly Scouse words and phrases are commonly used across the country now, not just in Liverpool.

  • The Ideology of American English As Standard English in Taiwan
    Arab World English Journal (AWEJ) Volume.7 Number.4 December, 2016 Pp. 80 - 96 The Ideology of American English as Standard English in Taiwan Jackie Chang English Department, National Pingtung University Pingtung City, Taiwan Abstract English language teaching and learning in Taiwan usually refers to American English teaching and learning. Taiwan views American English as Standard English. This is a strictly perceptual and ideological issue, as attested in the language school promotional materials that comprise the research data. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was employed to analyze data drawn from language school promotional materials. The results indicate that American English as Standard English (AESE) ideology is prevalent in Taiwan. American English is viewed as correct, superior and the proper English language version for Taiwanese people to compete globally. As a result, Taiwanese English language learners regard native English speakers with an American accent as having the greatest prestige and as model teachers deserving emulation. This ideology has resulted in racial and linguistic inequalities in contemporary Taiwanese society. AESE gives Taiwanese learners a restricted knowledge of English and its underlying culture. It is apparent that many Taiwanese people need tore-examine their taken-for-granted beliefs about AESE. Keywords: American English as Standard English (AESE),Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), ideology, inequalities 80 Arab World English Journal (AWEJ) Vol.7. No. 4 December 2016 The Ideology of American English as Standard English in Taiwan Chang Introduction It is an undeniable fact that English has become the global lingua franca. However, as far as English teaching and learning are concerned, there is a prevailing belief that the world should be learning not just any English variety but rather what is termed Standard English.

  • “Cockney and the Queen”
    “Cockney and the Queen” The importance and development of the accent known as Estuary English Maren Kristine Haugom MA Thesis UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Faculty of Humanities Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages Spring 2012 Abstract For this MA thesis I have chosen to investigate the accent known as Estuary English (EE). Even though it is having a massive impact on the development of the English language (especially in Britain) there are few extensive sources regarding this accent, and even though studies have been conducted they are few and hard to come across. Even linguists agree that there are few sources regarding EE, which makes it an interesting research topic. Due to the structure and (lack of) status of EE it is being discussed by linguists and commoners alike, and the media has acted as a linguistic “battlefield” of sorts where linguists and members of the general public have presented their arguments, suggested definitions, and frustrations regarding the new accent. The fact that the general opinions differ greatly and that definitions are changing continually makes it a very interesting base for research. It is a dynamic topic, a linguistic phenomenon which is happening in our time. As my thesis is being written over the course of only one semester I have chosen not to do field work or conduct a survey, although I will attempt to refer to studies conducted by other researchers where this is feasible. Because of the time limit I have chosen to focus mainly on theoretical aspects, such as the problems regarding a proper definition of EE and the discussion around which phonemic traits are part of the accent.

  • Phonemes, Graphemes and Phonics for Liverpool English 1. Introduction
    Phonemes, graphemes and phonics for Liverpool English Patrick Honeybone Kevin Watson Linguistics and English Language Linguistics and English Language University of Edinburgh Lancaster University 1. Introduction This document is intended mainly to be a resource for those teachers and other professionals who have an interest in spoken English and how it is encoded in the spelling system. We hope that this will include those using reading schemes which are fully or partly phonics-based, such as that advocated by the National Literacy Strategy for England. Most specifically, this piece is intended for those who teach spelling to pupils who have ‘Liverpool’ or ‘Merseyside’ accents, and for others who have an interest in this area. The issues under examination here are thus considered from the perspective of those who speak what we call ‘Liverpool English’, which, as we will see, differs from other varieties of English in a number of important ways. These differences mean that the sets of correspondences between sounds and letters (that is, between ‘phonemes’ and ‘graphemes’, as these things are usually called in the phonics literature and elsewhere) that have been developed for other varieties do not fit Liverpool English perfectly. They need some modifications, and this document aims to indicate what these modifications are. We do not give a full description of Liverpool English here, nor do we provide anything like a full phonics scheme. We focus only on the pronunciation of Liverpool English (so, only on the Liverpool English accent, not on the variety’s lexical or grammatical characteristics), and we do not consider the precise ways in which speech is encoded (speech to text: spelling) or decoded (text to speech: reading) in any detail.

  • Liverpool English
    ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE IPA Liverpool English Kevin Watson Department of Linguistics and English Language Lancaster University [email protected] Liverpool English (LE) is the variety of English spoken in Liverpool and much of the surrounding county of Merseyside, in the north-west of England. After London, the north- west of England is the most densely populated of all regions in England and Wales, with the population of Liverpool standing at around 450,000. LE itself is said to have developed in the middle of the 19th century, after rapid immigration from Ireland during the Irish potato famines of 1845–1847 (see Knowles 1973). Arguably as a result of this immigration, as we will see, there are some similarities between LE’s phonological system and those of Irish Englishes. Of course, as we might expect, the phonological system of LE maintains its connection with other northern Englishes, too. There is a greater amount of previous work on LE than on many other accents of British English, particularly other varieties of the north-west of the country. The earliest systematic study of LE, Knowles (1973), remains the seminal work and is where the widest range of phonological features is considered. Later work, including De Lyon (1981), Honeybone (2001), Sangster (2001) and Watson (2006, 2007), has tended to restrict its focus to a smaller number of variables which are amongst the variety’s most characteristic features. This article bases most of its descriptive detail on data gathered during fieldwork carried out by the author (see Watson 2007), but at times information is gleaned from elsewhere (most notably Knowles’ early work) to provide comparison.
