For instance: ―…the forks are nobert spewns we nicks in, yo may manage wi a fork if yo shuv the stuff on forst (first) wi (with) your fingers.‖ (p. 31) Bullough Collection No. 373 Christie Johnstone: a novel by Charles Reade 1. Publication details Author: Reade. Charles Author dates: 1814-1884 Title: Christie Johnstone: a novel Publication: London: Chatto & Windus, 1905 First published: 1853 Library reference: 200351001 2. Genre / subgenre Literary fiction 3. Brief synopsis Satirical novel which recounts the life, loves, misfortunes, and times of Viscount Ipsden, an indolent aristocrat. 4. Overview of varieties / dialects Much of the novel is set in a cluster of villages in Scotland. While the main characters (including Ipsden‘s manservant, Saunders), are accorded stE dialogue, the speech of the Scottish characters is consistently rendered in heavily-marked dialect. 5. Variety # 1: Ipsden‘s first meeting with Scots Jean Carnie and Christie Johnstone 5a. Sample of dialect Lord Ipsden, rising gently from his seat, with the same quiet politeness with which he would have received two princes of the blood, said, "How do you do?" and smiled a welcome. "Fine! hoow's yoursel?" answered the dark lass, whose name was Jean Carnie, and whose voice was not so sweet as her face. "What'n lord are ye?" continued she; "are you a juke? I wad like fine to hae a crack wi' a juke." Saunders, who knew himself the cause of this question, replied, _sotto voce,_ "His lordship is a viscount." "I didna ken't," was Jean's remark. "But it has a bonny soond." "What mair would ye hae?" said the fair beauty, whose name was Christie Johnstone. Then, appealing to his lordship as the likeliest to know, she added, "Nobeelity is jist a soond itsel, I'm tauld." The viscount, finding himself expected to say something on a topic he had not attended much to, answered dryly: "We must ask the republicans, they are the people that give their minds to such subjects." "And yon man," asked Jean Carnie, "is he a lord, too?" "I am his lordship's servant," replied Saunders, gravely, not without a secret misgiving whether fate had been just. "Na!" replied she, not to be imposed upon, "ye are statelier and prooder than this ane." 5b.1 Orthography Elision yoursel‟; what‟n; wi‟ [note apostrophe] Eye dialect juke http://librarysupport.shef.ac.uk /bullough.pdf Copyright © 2007, The University of Sheffield 78
