Đề 5: What are some typical characteristics of English
dialects in England?
ASSIGNMENT
In this article, we will talk about some typical characteristics of English dialects in England The three major division of dialects of English in England are classified as Southern English dialects, Midlands English dialects, Northern English dialects An important feature
of English regional accents in the bundle of isoglosses, which separated different pronunciation and grammar in different areas Accents throughout Britain are influenced
by the phoneme inventory of regional dialects, and native English speakers can often tell quite precisely
1 Southern England
In general, Southern English accents are distinguished from Northern English accents primarily by not using the short /a/ in words such as “bath”
In south east, the broad /a/ is normally used before
a /f/ /s/ …
Trang 2They pronounce “cast” by /ka:st/ instead of /kæst/
In South-west, an /a/ sound in used in these words but also in words that is /æ/ in RP
2 East Anglia
The Norfolk dialect is spoken in the traditional county of Norfolk and areas of north Suffolk
The group FOND (friends of the Norfolk dialect: was formed to record the county’s dialect and to provide advice for TV companies using the dialect in productions
Famous speakers include Lord Nelson and Keith Skipper
3 Midlands
- As in the North, Midlands accents generally do not use a broad A, so that “cast” is pronounced /kəst/ rather than the /kɑ:st/ pronunciation of most southern accents
- Midlands speech also generally uses the northern short /u/, so “putt” is pronounced the same as “put”
- “old” and “cold” may be pronounced as “owd” and
“cowd” And in northern midlands, “home” can become
“wom”
4 Northern England
a General features of Northern England
There are several accent features in Northern England

- The accents of Northern England generally do not use a /α:/
- Northern English tends not to have /Δ/
In most areas, the letter y on the end of words is pronounced /i/ For example: happy, city…
b Yorkshire
In Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights is one of the few classic works of English literatures to contain a substantial amount of dialect This dialect was still spoken around Haworth until the late 1970s, but there is now only a minority of it still in everyday use
c Middlesbrough area
The accents for Middlesbrough and the surrounding towns are sometimes grouped with Yorkshire and sometimes grouped with North – East of England, for they share characteristics with both
Some examples of traits that are shared with Yorkshire include:
H – dropping
In common with the east coast of Yorkshire have an / E:/ sound
Examples of traits shared with the North include: Glottal stops for /k/, /p/ and /t/ can all occur
d Northern – East England
Trang 4- Northern – East England
o Dialects in this region are often known as Mackem or Geordie The dialects across the region are broadly similar, however some differences do exist
o A feature of the North East accent, shared with Scots and Irish English, is the pronunciation of the consonant cluster – lm in coda position
- Liverpool, Lancashire, and Cumbria are also the dialects of the Northern England and they have their own characteristics
In short, there are many different accents and dialects across the UK and people are often very proud of their local accent or dialect, with a lot of prejudice involved
