Respelling „oounds 5b.2 Grammar Use of a- prefix on present participles a-hollorin‟ 5b.3 Vocabulary None noted 5c. Dialect area(s) represented Yokel, seems to mix some stereotypical ‗rural‘ features with some general nonstandard. This means that it can be hard to distinguish ‗yokel‘ from ‗cockney‘ in novel. 5d. Density of dialect representation Moderately marked 5e. Location of dialect Dialect entirely in dialogue 5f. Characteristics of dialect speakers Male, low social class, unskilled; peripheral 5g. Consistency of representation No evidence of code-switching although not very consistently presented. 5. Variety #5: Old-school huntsmen and gentlemen 5a. Sample of dialect "Yonder he goes among the ship (sheep), for a thousand! see how the skulking waggabone makes them scamper.‖ [p.7] ―Thank ye, thank ye, my good friend; I‘m rather deaf, but I presume you‘re inquiring after my wife and daughters – they are very well, I thank ye.‖ [deaf gentleman, p. 137] 5b.1 Orthography Respelling ship, rayther [representing some kind of RP?] 5b.2 Grammar Archaic pronoun ye 5b.3 Vocabulary yonder, waggabone 5c. Dialect area(s) represented Not specified regionally, possibly slightly archaic. Seems to be a social dialect marking the ‗real‘ gentry from the cockney upstarts, although by and large the ‗real‘ gentry speak unmarked St.E. 5d. Density of dialect representation Moderately marked 5e. Location of dialect Dialect entirely in dialogue 5f. Characteristics of dialect speakers Male, upper class, peripheral 5g. Consistency of representation Consistent; no evidence of code-switching 5. Variety #6: General hunting slang, unspecified group of speakers http://librarysupport.shef.ac.uk /bullough.pdf Copyright © 2007, <strong>The</strong> University of Sheffield 90
5a. Sample of dialect "‖Hollooo o-o-u, h‘loo o-o-ou, h‘loo—o-o-u, gone away! gone away! forrard, forrard! hark back! hark forrard! hark back!‖ resounds from every mouth.‖ [p. 11] 5b.1 Orthography Elision (no apostrophe) forrard 5b.2 Grammar None noted 5b.3 Vocabulary Various hunting terminology and slang, e.g. forrard, hark back, gone away 5c. Dialect area(s) represented Occupational dialect 5d. Density of dialect representation Moderately marked 5e. Location of dialect Dialect entirely in dialogue 5f. Characteristics of dialect speakers Male, middle and upper class 5g. Consistency of representation Characters switch in and out of using ‗hunting speak‘ in combination with their own varieties 5. Variety #7: Foreign nobleman, Baron, cross between French and Hanoverian 5a. Sample of dialect "Vich be de Newmarket Voiture?‖ [p. 77] ―dat he had paid de best price, and he be dem if he vod ride on de Cheapside of de coach.‖ [humourous misunderstanding Cheapside /cheap side, p. 77. Note that this in fact seems to be a case of Free Indirect Discourse.] ―Non, non, I say vot ears he has?‖ [years, p. 83] 5b.1 Orthography Respelling dem, vot, dat, vod, ears 5b.2 Grammar None noted 5b.3 Vocabulary voiture 5c. Dialect area(s) represented This seems to be a case where the speaker‘s first language influences their pronunciation of English. It is unclear from the representation whether the speaker‘s first language is French or German, and the narration also makes it unclear. 5d. Density of dialect representation Strongly marked 5e. Location of dialect Dialect entirely in dialogue, plus some FID http://librarysupport.shef.ac.uk /bullough.pdf Copyright © 2007, <strong>The</strong> University of Sheffield 91
