Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed study of dialect speech in the West Somerset region of England, collected in the late 19th century and early 20th century by the author, who was a local resident. As an extensive record of a living, spoken dialect, the book is an important contribution to the fields of language and linguistics. The author traveled the countryside collecting pronunciations, expressions, and vocabulary words, and he was careful to note any differences between spoken dialect and literary standard English. The author also discusses the literary context of the dialect, with comparisons to Shakespeare's work and other literary sources. The book is an excellent source of information for anyone interested in linguistics, philology, and the history of the English language.
