Analysing examples from 18th century literary texts through to 21st
century social media, this is the first comprehensive collection to
explore dialect writing in the North of England. The book also
considers broad questions about dialect writing in general: What is
it? Who does it? What types of dialect writing exist? How can
linguists interpret it? Bringing together a wide range of
contributors, the book investigates everything from the cultural
positioning and impact of dialect writing to the mechanics of how
authors produce dialect spellings (and what this can tell us about
the structure of the dialects represented). The book features a
number of case studies, focusing on dialect writing from all over
the North of England, considering a wide range of types of text,
including dialect poetry, translations into dialect, letters,
tweets, direct speech in novels, humorous localised volumes,
written reports of conversations and cartoons in local newspapers.
