A Contribution Towards the Study of the Scandinavian Element in the English Dialects A CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS THE STUDY OF THE SCANDINAVIAN ELEMENT IN THE ENGLISH DIALECTS. Preface. The present work consists of 1. an introductory disqui- sition upon the form, history and distribution of the Scandi- navian loan-words in the English dialects; 2. a list, (called List A), of Scand. loan-words in the dialects about whose origin there is little doubt, (for Tests of Scand. origin see Introduction §§ 27—31) with remarks on their form, history &c, and their parallels in the Scand. languages; 3. a list (called List B) of words which may be Scand. or English. List A has been made as comprehensive as possible, though I cannot hope that it includes all the Scand. loan-words in the dialects. Many words I have omitted because the accepted etymology seems erroneous or very doubtful; many hitherto accepted Scand. words I have relegated to List B. as not certainly Scand. but probably English. List A contains about 500 words. List B is intended to be merely illustrative; in it parallel forms, distribution &c are but rarely given in full; both the time and space at my command have been insufficient to allow of my making this list at all comprehensive. It contains a little over 200 words. From English works upon this subject I have derived but little assistance. The works which deal directly with the Scand. origin of dialect words are none of them by professed scholars. I have been saved some trouble in making references by Atkinson's Glossary of the Cleveland Dialect; but I have found it necessary to correct a great many of the forms, Brought to you by | University of Queensland - UQ Library Authenticated Download Date | 6/23/15 1:29 AM 46 ABNOLD WALL, especially in the light of Prof. Noreen's invaluable researches in the original forms of the ON. vowels and diphthongs. The value of such works as those of Atkinson, Streatfeild and Ellwood (see Introd. § 3) appears to be much impaired by the undue influence of the glamour of the Viking Age upon the minds of the authors, which has led them to refer to Scand. originals many genuine English words. I have at- tempted to clear my mind of any such bias, and the result is that I have found myself obliged to reject a large number of words which I had considered Scand. and worked at ac- cordingly. The two German works to which I am most deeply in- debted are Prof. Kluge's 'History of the English Language' in Paul's 'Grundriss', and Brate's Article on the Scand. loan- words in the Orrmulum in Paul and Bräune's Beiträge. Prof. Kluge's section on the Scand. influence upon English has been especially useful to me. The want of an Old English Dic- tionary giving all parallel forms in the Scand. and Low Ger. languages, and of a thoroughly comprehensive and reliable ME. Dictionary, giving all such parallels, is much felt in work of this kind. I have found Bradley's Stratmann's ME. Dictionary of very great help in this respect. Steenstrup's researches upon the Danish loan-words in OE. have also been found extremely useful. I have not been able to treat the Scotch dialects in the present work; Scotch forms are often referred to for the pur- pose of illustration, especially in the case of Northumber- land words. This work is entitled 'a contribution to the study of the subject'. Much remains to be done before the problem can be fairly treated; the English Dialect Dictionary, when com- plete, will make the study of the subject, especially of the question of distribution, much easier. A very thorough exa- mination of all the possible Scand. loan-words in ME. (on the lines of Brate's article referred to above) would also supply a much needed aid to the fuller consideration of the questions of form and history. As regards distribution, the present work does not profess to be a complete guide. Words which are common in the North of England are described as N. E., those common in the Brought to you by | University of Queensland - UQ Library Authenticated Download Date | 6/23/15 1:29 AM SCANDINAVIAN ELEMENT IN THE ENGLISH DIALECTS. 47 North and East as N. and E., those in the East alone as E. Ang.; specific reference as to Sources is given in the case of uncommon words and striking forms. All occurrences of Scand. words (as far as I can ascertain them) in the Southern and Western counties are indicated. (See Introd. §§ 73—89.) When a word is referred to a particular Glossary, it is not implied that the word occurs nowhere else; I have no doubt but that many (if not most) of the words here referred to as 'Yorks.' occur also in the adjacent counties. The references, then, are to be taken, not as guides to the complete distri- bution of the word, but as giving at any rate one reliable source where the word may be found. The pronunciation of the dialect words cited in the course of the work is indicated in square brackets on the same system as that employed in the English Dialect Dictionary. The system is simple, but quite sufficient for the purposes of this work. Only the following symbols need explanation: Consonants. d$ like the j in just 0 like the th in then / „ „ sh „ ship η „ „n „ think, p „ „ th „ thin Vowels. á like the a in Ger.

  • Official Standard of the Old English Sheepdog General Appearance: a Strong, Compact, Square, Balanced Dog
    Page 1 of 2 Official Standard of the Old English Sheepdog General Appearance: A strong, compact, square, balanced dog. Taking him all around, he is profusely, but not excessively coated, thickset, muscular and able-bodied. These qualities, combined with his agility, fit him for the demanding tasks required of a shepherd's or drover's dog. Therefore, soundness is of the greatest importance. His bark is loud with a distinctive "pot- casse" ring in it. Size, Proportion, Substance: Type, character and balance are of greater importance and are on no account to be sacrificed to size alone. Size - Height (measured from top of withers to the ground), Dogs: 22 inches (55.8 centimeters) and upward. Bitches: 21 inches (53.3 centimeters) and upward. Proportion - Length (measured from point of shoulder to point of ischium (tuberosity) practically the same as the height. Absolutely free from legginess or weaselness. Substance - Well muscled with plenty of bone. Head - A most intelligent expression. Eyes - Brown, blue or one of each. If brown, very dark is preferred. If blue, a pearl, china or wall-eye is considered typical. An amber or yellow eye is most objectionable. Ears - Medium sized and carried flat to the side of the head. Skull - Capacious and rather squarely formed giving plenty of room for brain power. The parts over the eyes (supra-orbital ridges) are well arched. The whole well covered with hair. Stop - Well defined. Jaw - Fairly long, strong, square and truncated. Attention is particularly called to the above properties as a long, narrow head or snipy muzzle is a deformity.

  • "Ich Höre Gern Diesen Dialekt, Erinnert Mich an Meine Urlaube in Kärnten
    "Ich höre gern diesen Dialekt, erinnert mich an meine Urlaube in Kärnten ... ": A survey of the usage and the popularity of Austrian dialects in Vienna John Bellamy (Manchester) A survey of over 200 Austrians was undertaken in Vienna to investigate the extent to which they say they use dialect. They were asked if they speak dialect and if they do, in which situations they would switch to using predominantly Hochsprache. The responses have been analysed according to age, gender, birthplace (in Austria) and occupation to find out if the data reveals underlying correlations, especially to see if there have been any developments of note since earlier studies (for example, Steinegger 1995). The same group of informants were also asked about their opinions of Austrian dialects in general and this paper details their answers along with the reasons behind their positive or negative responses in this regard. The data collected during this survey will be compared to other contemporary investigations (particularly Soukup 2009) in an effort to obtain a broader view of dialect usage and attitudes towards dialect in Vienna and its environs. Since a very similar study was undertaken at the same time in the UK (Manchester) with more or less the same questions, the opportunity presents itself to compare dialect usage in the area in and around Vienna with regional accents and usage in the urban area of Manchester. References will be made during the course of the presentation to both sets of data.

  • 5 Middle English
    A CONCISE HISTORY OF ENGLISH 5 Middle English 5.1 Historical background of Middle English Th e development of the English language was strongly infl uenced by political changes following the Norman Conquest. In 1066, the Norman army led by William the Con- queror (Duke of Normandy) defeated the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings and killed the last Anglo-Saxon king, Harold II. Th is event foreshadowed the end of the Old English and the beginning of the Middle English period. Th e linguistic eff ects of the ar- rival of the Normans became apparent with considerable delay, therefore the beginning of the Middle English period has been set by scholars to the end of the 11th century or even a later date. Th e traditional periodization distinguishes three subperiods of Middle English: Early Middle English (1100–1250), Ordinary Middle English (1250–1400), and Late Middle English (1400–1500). However, recent research suggests that Old English was not only spoken but also written for almost one hundred years aft er the Norman Conquest. Da Rold et al. (2010) suggest the following modifi cation of the traditional periodization: Updated Old English (1066–1150) Early Middle English (1150–1325) Late Middle English (1325–1500) When William the Conqueror became King William I of England, the Normans (Norsemen who had previously conquered Northern France) seized political, econom- ic, military, and religious power. Th ey became the lords of the Anglo-Saxon population, which, however, continued to speak English. Th e Normans spoke Norman French and at the beginning of their rule, most of them did not learn English and could not com- municate with the Anglo-Saxon population.

  • East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction
    eastsussex.gov.uk East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction The year was again dominated by efforts towards achieving The Keep, the new Historical Resource Centre, but the core work of the Record Office continued more busily than ever and there was much of which to be proud. In July 2008 we took in our ten-thousandth accession, something of a milestone in the office’s own history of almost 60 years. An application to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for £4.9million towards the costs of The Keep was submitted by the Record Office on behalf of the capital partners, East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the University of Sussex, in September. This represented around 20% of the anticipated costs of the building, since the partners remain committed to find the remainder. In December we learned our fate: that we had been unsuccessful. Feedback from the HLF indicated that ours had been an exemplary application, and one which they would have liked to have supported but, in a year when the effect of diverting HLF money to the Olympics was being felt, it was thought necessary to give precedence to some very high-profile projects. We were, of course, disappointed, but determined not to be deterred, and the partners agreed to pursue ways forward within the existing funding. Because it would further hold up the project, adding to inflation costs, but give no guarantee of success, we decided not to re-apply to the HLF, and by the end of the financial year were beginning to look at options for a less expensive building.
