Without question Cockney, or its offshoot Estuary English for that matter, is the most influential dialect of the British Isles. It is spoken by millions of people in and around London, and plays a leading role in film and television. In this seminar we will analyse the most striking features of the dialect, turning to various kinds of media ranging from private recordings to popular television and song. A reader with relevant material will be supplied at the beginning of the term. |
