In this episode, Peter was joined by Alex Broadhead, an English language and literature lecturer at the University of Liverpool and author of The Language of Robert Burns, published by Bucknell University Press.
The podcast serves as a taster in the use of dialects in 18thCentury writing and covers what is meant by the term ‘dialects’, when they start to appear in written texts and also focuses on some interesting examples. Along the way Alex and Pete play the roles of two sisters from a sample dialect text, The Exmoor Scolding, and Alex tests Pete’s ability to guess the meaning of some Dorset dialect words.
