Yorkshire at Work – Articles from Transactions. Ed. Peter Anderson

Description

A carefully selected choice of nine articles from Transactions with an introduction by the editor, Peter Anderson.  

“In this volume will be found words with long pedigrees and words with no known history at all; words which are Standard English though with specialised meanings”

Stanley Ellis provides a note on the vocabulary of the Lathe or barn in Upper Wharfedale, and diagrams and glossaries are provided to explain the dialect words which appear, and the specialised words used in the steel industry, ploughing, coopering and mining.
