Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glossary of Words Used in the County of Chester It has been rather difficult to know to what extent the local pronunciation of ordinary English words should be admitted. Manifestly to admit every slight variety of pronunciation would be to extend the Glossary almost indefinitely. And yet pronunciation is by no means unimportant, and should not be entirely ignored. There was no fixed rule possible, so I have used my judgment in these cases, by admitting words of which the pronunciation seemed to me to be sufficiently removed from the accepted pronunciation, omitting those in which the difference was slight. In an introductory chapter I propose to revert to the subject of pronunciation, and give the rules by which it appears to be governed. With respect to the spelling of words, I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to represent the pronunciation phonetically; but as I have never mastered the glossic system of sounds, I have been obliged to give the words according to the usual recognized rules of English spelling, but I do not think there will be any difficulty in understanding my meaning. Where a word has the same pronuncia tion as in classical English, I have spelt it as it is usually spelt, whether the usual spelling is phonetic or not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victorians and English Dialect tells the story of the Victorians' discovery of English dialect, and of the revaluation of local language that was brought about by the new, historical philology of the nineteenth century. Regional dialects came to be seen not as corrupt or pernicious, but rather as venerable and precious. The book examines the work of the ground-breaking collectors of the 1840s and 1850s, who first alerted their contemporaries to the importance of local dialect - and also to the perils that threatened it with extinction. Tracing the connection between dialect and literature, in the flourishing of dialect poetry and the foregrounding of regional voices in Victorian fiction. It goes on to explain how the antiquity of regional dialects cast light on the national past - the Celts, Anglo-Saxons, and Vikings - and how dialect study was also at the heart of the discovery of local folklore and oral culture: old words, old customs, old beliefs. And it tells the story of the three great monuments of Victorian dialect study that marked the apogee of regional philology: the 80 publications of the English Dialect Society (1873-96), an organization run by a committee of journalists and local historians in Manchester; the nationwide survey of The Existing Phonology of English Dialects (1889), which listened in on local speech in market squares and third-class railway carriages; and the multi-volume English Dialect Dictionary (1898-1905), which collected all the previous labours together, and made an enduring record of Victorian dialect.
