Document Details : Title: The Linguistic Geography of Wales Subtitle: Glamorgan Revisited Author(s): THOMAS, Peter Wynn Journal: Orbis Volume: 35 Date: 1988-1990 Pages: 68-80 DOI: 10.2143/ORB.35.0.2012827 Abstract : Anyone consulting the maps and articles of The Linguistic Geography of Wales (A. Thomas 1973) may be forgiven for concluding that there is little territorial cohesion in the lexicon of the South-East Welsh vernacular: time and again the area east to the river Nedd is unpredictably peppered with rogue items whose concentrated distribution in other areas otherwise identifies them as typically northern, western, etc. |
