The Geordie Dialect: Its History and Some Basic Phrases

The Geordie Dialect: Its History and Some Basic Phrases

There can be a tendency to view folklore as antiquated customs, old legends, or outdated practices. Yet folklore is not disconnected from contemporary life, and is an ever-evolving part of our lived experience. Folk music and folk art are two obvious branches, yet dialect and language is another.

Louise Pound refers to dialect as "a species of folklore" while J. D. A. Widdowson described language and folklore as "those twin pillars on which the whole fabric of our cultural traditions rests".

True, language does evolve and change over time, but as dialects run parallel to folklore, and preserve traditions in linguistic form, I thought it high time that we visit a specific dialect - mine.

Let's explore some of the background of the Geordie dialect - and some of its phrases - in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
