The English Dialect Dictionary (1898-1905) is a 'landmark achievement' in English dialect studies (Brook 1978: 152) yetsince its publication, its potential as a resource for historical linguistics and dialectology has been underexploited. Thisstudy aims to remedy this by using the EDD to analyse Norse influence in regional Englishes-a use proposed even byWright himself (Vol I.: vi). The Norse element in present-day Standard English (as well as in Old and Middle English) hasfrequently been treated throughout the literature, but the study of Norse influence on English dialects is typically seen asnot having received due attention (Wakelin 1977: 178), despite the great historical value of dialects and their importancein indicating the linguistic impact of Norse settlement on English. Recent studies have analysed the Norse element inspecific regions or registers (e.g. Dance 2003; Dance et al. 2019), but a national investigation of Norse dialectal influencehas not been undertaken since Wakelin (1977). This study will build on techniques developed by scholars such asBjörkman (1900-2), Dance (2003) and Pons-Sanz (2013) to re-analyse the Norse element in Late Modern Englishdialects. This will involve both quantitative analysis of overall patterns and qualitative analysis of individual lexemes,including evaluating the probability of Norse heritage of terms on an individual basis (building on Thorson, 1936) andinvestigating their distribution, development and usage.

英国方言词典（1898-1905）是英语方言研究中的“具有里程碑意义的成就”（Brook 1978：152）截至出版中，它作为历史语言学和方言学的潜力尚未被忽视。这项研究旨在通过使用EDD来分析北方英语中的北欧影响，即使是赖特本人提出的（第i卷：vi），也要记住这一点。当今的标准英语（以及中古英语）中的北欧元素经常在整个文献中得到治疗，但是通常可以看到对北欧对英语方言的影响的研究没有得到适当的关注（Wakelin 1977：178）（Wakelin 1977：178），努力对方言的巨大历史价值及其在指示Norse对英语构成的林语影响方面的重要性。最近的研究分析了北欧要素特定地区或注册表（例如Dance 2003; Dance等人，2019年），但是自Wakelin（1977）以来，不进行北欧方言影响力的全国投资。这项研究将基于Asbjörkman（1900-2），Dance（2003）和Pons-Sanz（2013）开发的技术，以重新分析现代英语晚期的北欧元素。这将涉及对整体模式的定量分析和对单个词汇的定性分析，包括评估单个基础上挪用术语遗产的概率（在Thorson，1936年建立）和对其分布，开发和使用情况进行了研究。
