A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'In this dictionary Bill Griffiths provides a vivid guide, not only to the distinctive vocabulary of the North East, but also the ways in which dialect words contain echoes of the long history of the region and its People. By explaining the words he helps us to understand the place.' --Professor Keith Wrightson, Yale University

'All this research is brought together in the dictionary, which has received international recognition as a serious contribution to modern dialect study.' --CityLife

'It will take time before the real significance of his life and work is appreciated, since it so clearly exceeds any of the usual measures of those things.' --Martin Wainwright, The Guardian

If you enjoy finding out about dialect words how and where and when they were used and where they came from we think this is the best guide yet to help you explore the world of North East dialect.
