Abstract:

Investigates how dialect variation is represented in writing

*Analyses examples from 18th century literary texts through to 21st century
texting

*Draws on a range of sources including diaries, blogs, poetry, direct speech
in fiction and cartoons in local newspapers

*Considers the cultural positioning and impact of dialect writing and
investigates the mechanics of how authors produce dialect writing

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.
