Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glossary of Words Pertaining to the Dialect of Mid-Yorkshire; With Others Peculiar to Lower Nidderdale: To Which Is Prefixed on Outline Grammar of the Mid-Yorkshire Dialect In the preparation of this Glossary, there were originally excluded all words which, though forming part of the writer's collection, were also to be found in the Whitby Glossary, published in 1855. As, however, neither Mr Ellis, nor Mr Skeat, were favourable to this plan of omission, it was abandoned, and the very considerable number of words common alike to the Whitby Strand and, inland, to Mid-Yorkshire, were rendered in glossic, and incorporated. In the process of accomplishing this much, more became necessary. Where, for example, in the Mid-Yorkshire area, a verb was in common use, in the Glossary referred to there was a restriction (clearly unintentional in many cases) to a mere participle; or, to a verb, where, in the first-named locality, a substantive form had a joint currency. In the Whitby Glossary, an exclusive prominence was also given to various fractures which, in the Mid-Yorkshire dialect, existed only as interchangeable features. Lastly, there were many words which varied in meaning in the respective localities. It was necessary to indicate these instances of the different treatment of words, and hence the additional notes comprised in the present Glossary.
