Survey of English Dialect Sites
The Survey of English Dialects took recordings from fourteen sites in Lancashire:
- Bickerstaffe, west Lancashire
- Cartmel, modern south Cumbria,
- Coniston, modern south Cumbria
- Dolphinholme, near Lancaster
- Eccleston. There were two villages in south Lancashire named "Eccleston". The one in the survey is in modern-day Lancashire.
- Fleetwood
- Halewood, near Liverpool. Would usually be classified as Scouse rather than Lancastrian.
- Harwood, near Bolton
- Marshside, Southport
- Pilling, Fylde coast
- Read, near Burnley
- Ribchester, between Blackburn and Preston
- Thistleton, on the Fylde near Blackpool
- Yealand, near Lancaster

Famous quotes containing the words survey of, survey, english and/or dialect:
“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
“In a famous Middletown study of Muncie, Indiana, in 1924, mothers were asked to rank the qualities they most desire in their children. At the top of the list were conformity and strict obedience. More than fifty years later, when the Middletown survey was replicated, mothers placed autonomy and independence first. The healthiest parenting probably promotes a balance of these qualities in children.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“English literature is a kind of training in social ethics.... English trains you to handle a body of information in a way that is conducive to action.”
—Marilyn Butler (b. 1937)
“The eyes of men converse as much as their tongues, with the advantage that the ocular dialect needs no dictionary, but is understood all the world over.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
