It reassesses the role of Northern English in the development of Modern Standard English, draws some pioneering conclusions about the future of Northern English, and considers the origins of the many images and stereotypes surrounding northerners and their speech. Numerous maps, and a useful index of northern English words and pronunciations, are included.Innovative and original, Northern English will be welcomed by all those interested in the history and regional diversity of English.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
