Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is the third installment of A Survey of Middle English Dialects 1290-1350. It is based on the spellings of place and personal names in the Lay Subsidy Rolls. The appearance of OE phonemes and sequences of phenomes is examined, the result being a delineation of the East Midland dialect area. The examination affords an approximate divide between the settlements of the Angles and the Saxons in Old English times. It also illustrates the original territory of the East Saxons, and throws light on the Anglo-Saxon invasion in prehistoric times.

Book Synopsis Records of Real People by : Merja Stenroos
Download or read book Records of Real People written by Merja Stenroos and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English local documents – leases, wills, accounts, letters and the like – provide a unique resource for historical sociolinguistics. Abundant from the early fifteenth century, they represent the language and concerns of people from a wide range of social, institutional and geographical backgrounds. However, as relatively few documents have been available digitally or in print, they have been an underresearched resource. This volume shows the tremendous potential of late- and post-medieval English local documents: highly variable in language, often colourful, including developing formulae as well as glimpses of actual recorded speech. The volume contains eleven chapters relating to a new resource, A Corpus of Middle English Local Documents (MELD). The first four chapters outline a theoretical and methodological approach to the study of local documents. The remaining seven present studies of different aspects of the material, including supralocalization, local patterns of spelling and morphology, land terminology, punctuation, formulaicness and multilingualism.

Book Synopsis Studies in English and European Historical Dialectology by : Marina Dossena
Download or read book Studies in English and European Historical Dialectology written by Marina Dossena and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally presented at the second in the newly-launched series of International Conferences on English Historical Dialectology, held at the University of Bergamo in August 2007, the contributions collected in this volume discuss significant aspects of socio-geo-historical variation in language. In addition to British English, the focus is on Dutch, Scots and varieties of English outside England (in Wales and in the American colonies of the seventeenth century), in a time span ranging from medieval times to the nineteenth century. The aim is to highlight the traits that allow scholars to approach the study of English in a broader European perspective, identifying the patterns that show convergence or divergence, not just in terms of shared linguistic features (morphosyntactic, lexical or pragmatic), but also in terms of methodological approaches. In this respect, great attention is given to the latest developments in corpus and computational linguistics, showing the extent to which such new tools as electronic atlases and tagged corpora may facilitate answers to important research questions. At the same time, perceptual dialectology is awarded new interest on account of its significant role in normative and argumentative language use.
