Description:Excerpt from The Influence of W-in in Old English: As Seen in the Middle English Dialects The present work was begun at the end of 1909, during a short course of studies at the University of Vienna. The subject was suggested to me by a remark of Professor LUICK's to the effect that he had felt the want of a work of this kind in preparing his Historical English Grammar. It was my intention at first - as suggested by Professor LUICK - to investigate also the modern dialect forms, in order to check and further develop the results obtained from the Me forms. But I have had to give up this plan, at any rate for the present. As yet there are only a few works dealing with the historical development of individual modern English dialects; and many of the forms here concerned given by EDD and EDGr. are, as far as I can see, impossible to interpret historically without such special investigations for guides. Under these circumstances I have restricted myself for the present to giving modern dialect forms only on one or two occasions where the correspondence of the Me and the modern forms is quite obvious. - To make up for this curtailment of the original plan I have made my Me material so extensive and my account of it so detailed, that the results obtained may, I trust, be regarded as tolerably reliable.
