The English Dialect Dictionary (1898-1905) is a 'landmark achievement' in English dialect studies (Brook 1978: 152) yetsince its publication, its potential as a resource for historical linguistics and dialectology has been underexploited. Thisstudy aims to remedy this by using the EDD to analyse Norse influence in regional Englishes-a use proposed even byWright himself (Vol I.: vi). The Norse element in present-day Standard English (as well as in Old and Middle English) hasfrequently been treated throughout the literature, but the study of Norse influence on English dialects is typically seen asnot having received due attention (Wakelin 1977: 178), despite the great historical value of dialects and their importancein indicating the linguistic impact of Norse settlement on English. Recent studies have analysed the Norse element inspecific regions or registers (e.g. Dance 2003; Dance et al. 2019), but a national investigation of Norse dialectal influencehas not been undertaken since Wakelin (1977). This study will build on techniques developed by scholars such asBjörkman (1900-2), Dance (2003) and Pons-Sanz (2013) to re-analyse the Norse element in Late Modern Englishdialects. This will involve both quantitative analysis of overall patterns and qualitative analysis of individual lexemes,including evaluating the probability of Norse heritage of terms on an individual basis (building on Thorson, 1936) andinvestigating their distribution, development and usage.

《英语方言词典》（1898-1905）是英语方言研究的一个里程碑式的成就（Brook 1978：152），但自其出版以来，它作为历史语言学和方言学资源的潜力一直未得到充分开发。本研究旨在通过使用EDD来分析挪威语对区域英语的影响来弥补这一点-甚至由Wright自己提出使用（E.I.：（vi）现代标准英语（以及古英语和中古英语）中的北欧元素在整个文献中经常被处理，但北欧对英语方言影响的研究通常被视为没有得到应有的重视（Wakelin 1977：178），尽管方言具有巨大的历史价值，并且在表明北欧定居对英语的语言影响方面具有重要意义。最近的研究分析了特定地区或地区的北欧元素（例如Dance 2003; Dance et al. 2019），但自Wakelin（1977）以来，还没有对北欧方言影响进行过全国性调查。这项研究将建立在学者如Björkman（1900-2），Dance（2003）和Pons-Sanz（2013）开发的技术基础上，以重新分析晚现代英语方言中的北欧元素。这将涉及到整体模式的定量分析和个别词汇的定性分析，包括评估的概率，挪威遗产的条款在个别的基础上（建设Thorson，1936年）和调查他们的分布，发展和使用。
