  • The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE
    The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE BRABER Investigating feelings of identity in East Midlands adolescents Introduction When considering dialectal variation in the UK, linguists have frequently considered the North/South divide and the linguistic markers separating the two regions (see for example Trudgill, 1999; Wells, 1986). But it has been noted that this is not a straightforward division (e.g. Beal, 2008; Goodey, Gold, Duffett & Spencer, 1971; Montgomery, 2007; Wales, 2002). There are clear stereotypes for the North and South – but how do areas like the East Midlands fit into the picture? The boundaries between North and South are defined in different ways. Beal’s linguistic North does not include the East Midlands (Beal, 2008: 124- 5), neither does Wales’ (2002: 48). Trudgill states that in traditional dialectology the East Midlands area falls under ‘Central’ dialects, which come under the ‘Southern’ branch, but in modern dialectology it falls in the ‘North’. Hughes, Trudgill and Watt (2005: 70) contains a map which has the East Midlands in the North. Linguistically, the question has been raised whether there is a clear North/South boundary (see for example Upton (2012) where it is proposed that it is a transition zone). This paper revisits this question from the point of view of young people living in the East Midlands, to examine their sense of identity and whether this cultural divide is salient to them. The East Midlands is a problematic area in its definition geographically, and people may have difficulty in relating this to their own sense of identity.

  • Midlands Engine State of the Region Executive Summary
    MIDLANDS ENGINE STATE OF THE REGION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OCTOBER 2020 Executive Summary Welcome to State of the Region 2020 – the first annual review of economic performance across the Midlands Engine. Our State of the Region report has been produced for the Midlands Engine Partnership by our Observatory. It presents something of a stocktake of where our region stands - what we are doing well and where we need to work together to improve economic performance across the Midlands Engine. The report also highlights the far reaching impact of COVID-19 on our regional economy – a shock we are yet to fully understand but which we are already feeling the effects of. The Midlands is home to almost 11 million people, is responsible for 22% of England’s exports – the greatest share of any region; and generates £239 billion annually for the UK economy. That’s an economy the size of Denmark’s – and a geography serving a greater population than the devolved nations – Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, combined. The region was one of the most prosperous areas of the UK until the 1970s and 1980s. Over the last 5 years it had been experiencing a resurgence of its economic potential, thanks to growth across a wide range of sectors. It is the Midlands which had been bucking the national trend on a host of economic indicators, such as enterprise and employment growth. Much of this was powered by a young, skilled workforce. However, there are both long-term structural challenges and shorter-term shocks which are preventing us reaching our economic and community ambitions – ambitions which see every part of our region prosper and our communities strengthened.
