Lancashire Dialect and Accent - Survey of English Dialect Sites

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

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)

    “My English text is chaste, and all licentious passages are left in the obscurity of a learned language.”
    —Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)

    “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)
