Gain an insight into the English language via one of the UK's
richest dialects: Geordie. From George Stephenson to The Animals to
Viz, the North East has long had a successful creative culture,
developing alongside its industrial history. Newcastle in
particular has successfully reinvented itself as a centre of the
arts, while still maintaining its own regional identity. This book
is the definitive guide to the most distinctive element of that
identity: the Geordie dialect. This book is a must for anyone with
even a passing interest in the language of the North East, and also
provides a thorough examination of the general state of English,
from the traditional wit and wisdom of the Geordie perspective.
