Dialect/Traditions Radio Help!
Hiya,
I put this on the intros page but seeing as its a question too I though id stick it on here also (wow the degree is paying off...thats common sense that is!) Well just a quick intro then. My names Katie, im 20 live in Oswaldtwistle but im currently in my 3rd year of a Media Production TV + Radio Degree at Sunderland University. I basically came on here to ask for help. Im doing a radio programme for my final year coursework and ive decided to do it on Lancashire and its history, particularly the dialect and tradition. So I was wondering if anyone could help me? Im not sure as yet of the layout of my programme, im in the initial planning stages but any suggestions would be a great help. Well thanks in advance  Katie xx |

Re: Dialect/Traditions Radio Help!
There are plenty of books available about Lancashire dialect. Ossy Mills usually has a few...

Re: Dialect/Traditions Radio Help!
Couple of books that might help are by Benita Moore - not sure of titles but she was a local author who wrote in dialect.
Also, try getting a copy of Accrington Pals play, that's written in old dialect that is supposed to be spoken. Another way round is to talk to as many older people as possible - try getting in touch with an old folks home. |
