4.0 out of 5 stars A Book For Language Lovers, 7 Sep 2000
By Wang, Chao-Hong (Hualien Taiwan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The maps in this book show the distribution of different word usage and pronunciations throughout England (but not the UK). Lots of interesting stuff, that requires no knowledge of linguistics to understand.

Do you say Autumn or Fall? Do you pronounce Tuesday as [tu:zdei] or [tju:zdei] ? Would you usually say, "Give me it!" OR "Give it me!" OR "Give it to me!". These are the sorts of language usage that the maps help to illustrate. The left hand page has the map and the right page the notes and explanations.

3.0 out of 5 stars No Aye or Ar, 16 Sep 2008
By Mr. M. Wilson "Pastscapian" (Shropshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whilst this is a very interesting book it's not quiet as good as I hoped it would be. This is mainly because of the words chosen for regional comparison. For example, one of the main reasons I got the book is because I wanted to see the distribution of the the dialectic words for 'yes': 'aye' and 'ar'. To my amazement, I found that they weren't there!

Having said that, it is still an interesting read and there are some surprises.
