Resumen

Tanto los dialectos norteños como el dialecto de Lancashire han tenido una extensa representación en la literatura. La literatura regional se clasifica principalmente en literatura dialectal y dialecto literario. La primera vertiente va dirigida a un público más limitado ya que incluye aquellas novelas, obras teatrales y poemas que están mayormente compuestas en una variedad vernácula no estándar. El segundo concepto se refiere a aquella producción literaria que está en su mayor parte escrita en inglés estándar, a excepción de los diálogos de los personajes que están redactados y caracterizados con una variante dialectal concreta. Este tipo de representación literaria es considerada como una herramienta de gran utilidad para el estudio dialectal. Este artículo analiza aquellas grafías y sonidos relacionados con el grupo léxico FLEECE en el dialecto de Lancashire del siglo diecinueve, de acuerdo a la clasificación que Wells (1982) proporciona para las palabras que contienen el monoptongo [i:] en RP. Para lograr este objetivo, varias obras de dialecto literario serán recopiladas y analizadas. En este cometido, todas las grafías no estándares asociadas con dicho monoptongo son recogidas y atribuidas a sus correspondientes pronunciaciones en el dialecto de Lancashire. El presente estudio examina la coexistencia de sonidos relacionados con FLEECE en base a razones tanto históricas como sociolingüísticas.
