Some features of northern English dialects and the Scandinavian dialect continuum

Dora Maček ; Filozofski fakultet, Zagreb

Abstract

Phonological and semantic features of the northern English and Scottish vocabulary are discussed with respect to their similarities with the mainstream Scandinavian vocabulary. It is argued that the convergence of the two areas can be represented through common isoglosses, where the northern English-Scottish linguistic area forms the western boundary of the Scandinavian continuum.
