About the book
Words with a county behind them
Nottinghamshire dialect sits between northern and southern English, giving the county a speech all its own. Linguist Natalie Braber gathers words, expressions and pronunciations from across the county and places them in the settings where they were used.
The book ranges well beyond a dictionary, exploring children’s games, home life, farms, factories, coalmines, literature, sport and local traditions. It is an entertaining portrait of Nottinghamshire language and identity.
