General surveys appear along with in-depth studies of particular problems. Some papers describe the present situation in terms of dynamic synchrony, others deal with the past and making use of present-day dialectal data to help solve certain problems and, finally, those that draw on the past to explain the present. Traditional dialectological methodology is presented here, as is modern quantificational and computative dialectology. Moreover, regional English and Welsh English are investigated on the phonological, morphological and syntactica Analysis England Languages English language Dialects England English language Dialects Wales English language Social aspects England English language Social aspects Wales English language Variation England English language Variation Wales Wales Languages Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject English language -- Dialects -- England English language -- Social aspects -- England English language -- Dialects -- Wales English language -- Social aspects -- Wales English language -- Variation -- England English language -- Variation -- Wales English language -- Variation.
