Eye dialect: translating the untranslatable
No full textThe term ‘eye dialect’ was first coined in 1925 by George P. Krapp inThe
English Language in America(McArthur 1998). The term was used to describe
the phenomenon of unconventional spelling used to reproduce colloquial
usage. When one encounters such spellings “the convention violated is one
of the eyes, and not of the ear”. Furthermore, eye dialect would be used by
writers “not to indicate a genuine difference in pronunciation, but the
spelling is a friendly nudge to the reader, a knowing look which establishes a
sympathetic sense of superiority between the author and reader as
contrasted with the humble speaker of dialect”. While the phrase “the
humble speaker of dialect” may smack of prescriptivism to the modern
reader, this passage is important, as it finally gives a term for a device that
has been used in literature for centuries. Krapp was referring to spellings
likeenufffor ‘enough’,wimminfor ‘women’,animulzfor ‘animals’ and
numerous other examples in which the standard spelling of the word belies
in some way its pronunciation. One may envisage these spellings as a sort of
insinuation on the part of the author that the character whose speech is
depicted so would spell these words in this way, hence demonstrating a
level of education and literacy substantially lower than the average
Boys of England and Edwin J. Brett, 1866-99
No full textBoys of England was a Victorian boys' periodical. It was published weekly by Edwin J. Brett from 1866 to 1899, initially from the Fleet Street offices of the Newsagents'
Publishing Company, and later from Brett's own `Boys of England Office'. It was the first periodical of its kind, and achieved a large sale amongst eager youngsters.
The purpose of this thesis is to provide a general history of BOE and Brett, neither of which has yet been attempted. More specifically, the thesis is intended to address
misconceptions regarding Brett and his work. Historians of boys' periodical literature have tended to portray Brett's papers as largely supportive of middle class hegemony. They
argue that they failed to connect with the lives of their upper working and lower middle class readers. However, this thesis contends that in actual fact BOE engaged closely with
the lives of its readership, comprised mainly of boys from the `respectable' working classes. Therefore, BOE should rightly be considered an important, indigenous component
of working class society and culture in mid to late Victorian Britain.
To provide as comprehensive an analysis as possible, the thesis is divided into three sections: `Paper and Proprietor'; `Content'; `Response'. These sections are divided into further chapters, each exploring a salient facet of BOE and Brett. Some of these engage with, and challenge, the existing historiography of boys' periodical literature. Others introduce historiographies previously remote from the study of boys' papers, widening the
remit of this relatively self-contained field. Some examine entirely unstudied, or largely understudied, subject matter.
Ultimately, this thesis is intended to make a valuable contribution not only to the historiography of boys' papers specifically, and children's literature in general, but also to the wider historiographies of Victorian social and cultural history and the Victorian working class

Collocate networks in the language of crime journalism
No full textStandard procedures for the treatment of collocates, which involve the elaboration of lists of collocates on a two-by-two basis, are far from optimum for the study of connectivity, i.e. observing whether these collocates in turn display a tendency to co-occur or not. This paper explores an alternative strategy that has garnered considerable interest in recent years: that of using Social Network Analysis procedures. Lists of collocates (concgrams) were extracted from a one million word corpus of crime journalism using standard techniques. Gephi software was then used to transform the list of collocates into a network. A small number of collocate pairs were seen to be isolates, i.e. collocating only with each other, while the majority belonged to the giant component, composed of pairs in which at least one member collocates with at least one other word. Modules (clusters of highly interconnected collocates) were identified; these were seen to pertain to specific subject areas. The corpus was then re-examined to see where these clusters of collocates occurred, and co-occurred, and to gauge how much this technique may tell us about the 'aboutness' of particular texts
