Description
Excerpt from A Grammar of the Dialect of West Somerset: Descriptive and Historical
In judging the attempt made in the Glossary to distinguish what is genuinely dialectal and what is due to or influenced by standard speech it should be borne in mind that l have only marked those words which can with some degree of certainty be shown to owe their pronunciation to standard English, according to the criteria laid down in 563 ff. No doubt there are more, but we want proofs. A word like imitation, or vowel, or logic is probably not in dialectal use, but we cannot be sure of that; logic may for all we know he a genuine dialect-word. See also Glossary s. V. Oration, pedigree; to rendez-vous Mr. Elworthy expressly adds: ''common''.
