All sat on a table with everybody staring at them. The purpose of the project was to answer the question ‘Is the Sheffield Accent set in Stone?’ We aimed to represent the range of variation in the FACE and GOAT Lexical sets which I am investigating in Sheffield speech (or the ‘oh’ and ‘ay’ sounds). Its very soft and sounds like amix between North Derbyshie, West Yorkshire ,with a bit of Oldham! The opening of Meadowhall and the Super Tram are prime examples of gentrification in Sheffield in the early nineties that were a hot topic for Sheffield people at the time. There's a huge difference in the sound of a Buxton accent and a Derby accent! Please either comment below or contact me. In the rest of this blogpost I will be using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols (in square brackets) to represent speech sounds. Love or Duck are commonly used as a term of address by Sheffielder’s, as pointed out in Whomersly’s (1981) ‘Sheffieldish’ phrasebook, in the statement ‘You must not be shocked when you are addressed as ‘luv’ or ‘duck’, aimed at newcomers to Sheffield. This is something that is common across the whole of Yorkshire, and most commonly discussed in the example ‘goin’ t’shop.’ In Sheffield we see glottalisation and the zero article (‘goin shop’), in which ‘the’ is omitted completely. http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/ipa/index.html I will also be using Well’s Lexical sets (1982) – for an introduction to these take a look at this Wikipedia site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_set, (Definitions of these as well as other linguistic jargon that you may be unfamiliar with are provided on the glossary page). For example there are ‘frequent opportunities for Sheffield speakers to come into regular contact with speakers using the FACE and GOAT closing diphthong forms in their local accents’, which are regarded as more standard pronunciations, and this could behaving an impact upon the Sheffield dialect (Finnegan 2015:228). For their part, all the Americans I speak to get a bit huffy when I suggest they might not get some of the more recherché nuances in Turner's lyrics. Teenagers: Glossop is in Derbyshire not Greater Manchester!!! You might be wondering ‘what constitutes a broad Sheffield accent?’ – something which I will now consider, mentioning some of the phonetic variants that are typical of Sheffield speech – from my own experience as well as attestations in previous linguistic research.
But towards the back of Webster Hall, I find an intriguing split in comprehension. These were all great experiences where I received some valuable feedback and questions to consider about my own project, and gained confidence and reassurance that all is going well! And if you are familiar with the Sheffield accent, or you have one yourself, then you might be able to relate!
In lieu of hard facts, a variety of lurid rumours has gained currency. Overall it will be fascinating to find out what in particular is shaping the way Sheffieldiers speak. http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/ipa/index.html I will also be using Well’s Lexical sets (1982) – for an introduction to these take a look at this Wikipedia site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_set, (Definitions of these as well as other linguistic jargon that you may be unfamiliar with are provided on the glossary page). i would say that north and south chesterfield have thir own variatoinsm taylor, BBC Derby website, 56 St Helen's Street, Derby, DE1 3HY, the derby accent in the south i think from a neutral is more in the vein of a midlands accent(brum) its the people of north derbys that have the true derbyshire accent words such as... thee/tha/look at that their serry/surry/cob a stone/docker / oraite are words that i dont hear so much these days as i hear so many different accents in my local supermarket these days from outside workers that come in to chesterfield.....as we used to be a producing town wich has now died off we had an influx of white collar/prof workers to fill vacancies. This means that you would expect to hear it in phrases like ‘that is reyt good’ or ‘i am reyt chuffed!’. As well this we hear the short [a] in the word TRAP up North and in Sheffield, whereas down south we would expect to hear the long [ɑ:] in BATH – which would sound something like ‘barth’. To look for sound changes I will need to transcribe the interviews and then use computer software which is able to measure speech sounds and give a numerical value which can then be tested using statistics to prove whether or not there are any differences between samples – I will be using a specific process called forced alignment. A fair proportion of their US press to date has concerned itself with explaining the band's more arcane references. Yes – there are several different types of Yorkshire accent. And then there are the individual towns and villages which have evolved their own unique version of the Derbyshire accent over the years. 2015. We never had a manifesto or 'owt.
