  • ‘Well, taakin about he da bring inta me yead wat I promised var ta tell ee about’

    Open AccessJavier Ruano–garcíaARTICLEEnglish Language and Linguistics2023

    This article explores representations of south-western speech in nineteenth-century dialect writing. It draws on a selection of specimens from the Salamanca Corpus in order to determine what they can tell us about the language of south-western speakers at this time. By focusing on periphrastic do and pronoun exchange, I argue that representations of south-western dialects can be taken as a missing link in the history of these two grammatical feat…

  • Linguistic Perceptions of Irish English in Nineteenth-century Emigrant Letters

    Open AccessCarolina Amador-Moreno, Javier Ruano–garcíaARTICLEInternational Journal of English…2023

    In this paper we look at the real voices of Irish English speakers in the nineteenth century. By turning to the Corpus of Irish English Correspondence (McCafferty & Amador-Moreno, 2012), we analyse the perceptions that letter writers had of their own language use. We apply a micro-perspective analysis to the language of John Kerr, an Irish emigrant to America, in his letters to his uncle James Graham of Newpark (Co. Antrim, N. Ireland). We examin…

  • The impact of Horae Subsecivae on the EDD 's coverage of western words

    Open AccessJavier Ruano–garcíaARTICLEEnglish Today2022

    This paper examines the contribution of Horae Subsecivae to Joseph Wright's (1855–1930) English Dialect Dictionary (1896–1905) ( EDD ). Horae Subsecivae (‘spare hours’) is an obscure manuscript glossary that was possibly compiled by Robert Wight of Wotton-under-Edge in c .1777–78, and is now preserved amongst Wright's papers at the Bodleian Library as Bodl. MS Eng. lang. d. 66. Even though it has received little scholarly attention, Horae Subseci…

  • On the enregisterment of the Lancashire dialect in Late Modern English

    Javier Ruano-García, Javier Ruano–garcíaARTICLEJournal of Historical Sociolinguist…2020

    This paper places literary recreations of Lancashire English into the context of enregisterment and the sociolinguistics of spelling. Using the Salamanca Corpus , I examine Lancashire dialect writings published between 1700 and 1900 representative of both dialect literature and literary dialect to determine the repertoire of forms that were circulated in representations of the dialect. More specifically, my aim is to identify the respellings empl…

  • Shaping the Other in the Standardization of English

    Open AccessJavier Ruano–garcíaARTICLEInternational Journal of English…2020

    This paper explores the other side of standardization by looking at one of the early modern regional varieties of English that remained outside the “consensus dialect” (Wright, 2000: 6). Drawing on Agha’s (2003) framework of enregisterment, I examine a selection of literary representations of the ‘northern’ dialect that are now included in The Salamanca Corpus (García-Bermejo Giner et al., 2011–), as well as contemporary lexicographical evidence …

  • On the Colonial Element in Joseph Wright’s English Dialect Dictionary

    Open AccessJavier Ruano-García, Javier Ruano–garcíaARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018References: 5

    This paper takes a preliminary approach to the colonial element of Joseph Wright’s English Dialect Dictionary (1896-1905). Drawing on the electronic version of the dictionary that has recently been launched, it examines the entries which refer to the colonial usage of words documented in British dialects, considering the links that Wright made with Australia, Canada, Newfoundland, and New Zealand, as well as the isolated evidence recorded on item…

  • Late Modern Lancashire English in lexicographical context

    Open AccessJavier Ruano-García, Javier Ruano–garcíaARTICLEEnglish Today2012

    The longstanding vernacular literary pedigree of the county of Lancashire has made it home to a large body of regional writings comparable only to those of the neighbouring Yorkshire. Both past and present scholarship have acknowledged this fact, arguing that the literary tradition of the dialect may be taken as a source to get some insight into the linguistic history of the county. Research so far concentrated on the linguistic mining of Lancash…
