Evidence of medieval Norse contact in Late Modern English dialects: An etymological study of the English Dialect Dictionary

《英语方言词典》(1898-1905)是英语方言研究的一项里程碑式的成就(Brook 1978：152)，但自出版以来，它作为历史语言学和方言学资源的潜力一直没有得到充分开发。这项研究旨在通过使用EDD来分析斯堪的纳维亚语对地方性英语的影响来弥补这一点--这一使用甚至是由赖特本人提出的(第一卷：第六卷)。现代标准英语(以及古英语和中世纪英语)中的斯堪的纳维亚元素在整个文献中经常被讨论，但关于斯堪的纳维亚语对英语方言的影响的研究通常被认为没有得到应有的重视(Wakelin 1977：178)，尽管方言具有很大的历史价值，它们在表明北欧人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等人)。2019年)，但自Wakelin(1977)以来就没有进行过关于北欧方言影响的全国性调查。本研究将以Asbjörkman(1900-2)、Dance(2003)和Pons-Sanz(2013)等学者的研究方法为基础，重新分析现代英语后期方言中的北欧成分。这将包括对整体模式的定量分析和对个别词汇的定性分析，包括评估术语在个别基础上传承的可能性(以Thorson，1936为基础)，并调查它们的分布、发展和使用。

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.
