Change in the Fisher Dialects of the Scottish East Coast: Peterhead as a Case Study

Abstract

It is generally recognised that in the industrial and post-industrial world, traditional dialects, associated largely with non-urban areas and traditional lifestyles, are being ‘swamped’ by the influence of (in no particular order) the written (and spoken) standard language of the polity, colloquial and non-standard varieties (with a broad geographical distribution), and socially and regionally marked varieties which exhibit mainly phonological differences from their neighbours and subsume previously largely discrete traditional dialects into a larger whole. Often, this process is termed dialect attrition . These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
