Download or read book Dialect Matters written by Peter Trudgill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Peter Trudgill's weekly column in the Eastern Daily Press newspaper, this book has two overall messages. The first is that language is a fascinating and enjoyable phenomenon which not enough people know enough about. The second is that we should not discriminate negatively against individuals and groups because of their accent, dialect or native language. Linguistic prejudice, known as 'linguicism', is more publicly and shamelessly demonstrated than racism and sexism, as is 'prescriptivism', the practice of elevating one language or language variety as 'better' than another. Written in an entertaining and accessible style, Trudgill's columns support the language of ordinary people and explore topics such as nonstandard versus standard dialects; vernacular (everyday) language as opposed to politically correct language; informal vocabulary as opposed to business-school jargon; and minority versus majority languages. Each article is also accompanied by notes designed for students and those unfamiliar with the East Anglian setting.

Download or read book The Norfolk Dialect written by Peter Trudgill and published by Poppyland Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of volumes purport to explain the particular features of dialects found in the two counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. Of the two, the Norfolk dialect is perhaps the most well known, and often mimicked wrongly by those that believe it is just a matter in intonation or the use of a particular vocabulary. The Norfolk Dialect looks at the linguist history of the county stretching back to pre-Roman times, the influence of the Saxon and Viking invasions, and the creation of a distinct dialect within the new English language that emerged. It examines and illustrates the differences and similarities with the Suffolk dialect demonstrating that such relationships are caused by not only geographical proximity but also inaccessible divisions that pass through regions such as the Fens. The book discusses the development of dialect's vocabulary and grammar, how its origins follow similar patterns with other dialects spoken throughout England and the origins of place-names and their pronunciation. Above all, the book shows that the Norfolk dialect is a version of the English language with its own fascinating history, unique structure and form that is worthy of respect and understanding, and, as such, needs to be maintained and cherished rather than lost to future generations.

Download or read book Writing in Nonstandard English written by Irma Taavitsainen and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates linguistic variation as a complex continuum of language use from standard to nonstandard. In our view, these notions can only be established through mutual definition, and they cannot exist without the opposite pole. What is considered standard English changes according to the approach at hand, and the nonstandard changes accordingly. This book offers an interdisciplinary and multifaceted approach to this central theme of wide interest.The articles approach writing in nonstandard language through various disciplines and methodologies: sociolinguistics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, dialectology, corpus linguistics, and ideological and political points of view. The theories and methods from these fields are applied to material that ranges from nonliterary writing to canonized authors. Dialects, regional varieties and worldwide Englishes are also addressed.
