English Dialect Society

4.9/5 (25610 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Reports, Notices, and Library, Vol. 33: With a List of the Society's Publications, and Various Indexes The objects of the "English Dialect Society" are: - (1) to bring together all those who have made a study of any of the Provincial Dialects of England, or who are interested in the subject of Provincial English; (2) to combine the labours of collectors of Provincial English words by providing a common centre to which they may be sent, so as to gather material for a general record of all such words; (3) to publish (subject to proper revision) such collections of Provincial English words as exist at present only in manuscript; and (4) to supply references to sources of information which may be of material assistance to word-collectors, students, and all who have a general or particular interest in the subject. Much information may be found scattered up and down the pages of such publications as Notes and Queries; many provincial glossaries (especially the smaller ones) are so scarce as to be hardly attainable; and it must have occurred to every one who has studied the subject that the work has materially suffered from the extremely desultory way in which word-lists have been published, at all sorts of times and places, on no uniform plan, and with total irregularity as to size, shape, and arrangement. The chief book of reference is the well-known Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial English by Mr Halliwell, in which the preservation of archaisms was the primary idea, although fortunately the editor "thought the incorporation of a glossary of provincialisms would render the work a more useful guide than one restricted to known archaisms" (5th ed. pref. p. vii); and, accordingly, took great pains to render his book as complete in this respect as was possible.
