To analyze the dialect, it uses descriptive rather that prescriptive approach. It means that the objective is to describe the language used by the members in naturally systematic rather than how well they speak or how they should speak (Rickford, 2002: 1). From this theory, we know that the study of phonology should be done in descriptive way. Based on the study, if we study phonology, it will give us insight into how the human minds are worked (Hamann & Schmitz, 2005: 3).

    Phonological awareness is a vital skill to learning to read; however, a child’s dialect use can negatively impact their phonological awareness skills and makes it more difficult for children to learn to read (Mitri & Terry, 2014). To explain, in a study of 119 African American second graders, the children who used AAVE more frequently performed more poorly and chose more dialect sensitive responses, or words that contain features that vary depending on dialect use, on the phonemic awareness tasks than the children who used AAVE less frequently. For example, Mitri and Terry (2014) provided the children with a common word, such as bed, and asked the participants to select the word that resembled the initial word from three possible responses: a SAE match, such as red, a dialect sensitive match, such as net, and a neutral match, such as egg. In this instance, the children who spoke AAVE more frequently were more likely to choose “net” than their peers who used AAVE less frequently due to the common devoicing of final consonants. Additionally, the children with higher phonological awareness had increased reading ability (Mitri & Terry, 2014).

    Dialect, most people would agree, is the first practical identifier of a person. Yes, there is an unholy amount to be said for visual judgements –physical appearance holds unconscious powers that vocals will never achieve- but when considering true, difficult-to-mask features of a person, one’s speech is the foremost artifact in identification that is, most of the time, genuine. Language is the binding that holds our whole book of life together: your language, and more specifically, your dialect, decides where your page is placed.

    Dialect is the language used by specific regions, class and social groups. It involves grammar and spelling. In comparison, accent is the way in which we pronounce words, the differences in vowels and consonant sounds, syllabic stress. Considering this, I rewrote a spoken narrative from ‘Humans of New York’ in a Yorkshire accent and dialect. Using words such as ‘gallack’ instead of saying ‘when we left’, relating to the dialect of Yorkshire, and rewriting words such as ‘theear’ instead of ‘there’ to exaggerate the Yorkshire accent.

    and others (1981:95) also used such technique, additionally applying ‘high and low lexical diversity’ to the South Welsh and RP accent, with high lexical diversity referring to frequent use of regional specific lexis. In my study, the participant will conduct both Scouse and RP lexical diversity to a high degree, using Scouse features such as lenition; defined by Honeybone (2007:18) as ‘underlying plosives realized as affricates and fricatives, for example, expect is articulated [exspɛxt] and stop is articulated [stɒɸ]’. Distinctive Scouse features such as the long vowel [u:] that replaces Standard English (spoken by the RP speaker) [ʊ] in ‘book’ and ‘look’ (Watson, 2007:358) will be employed by both Scouse speakers. Lexical features that the high-diversity speaker will employ in the passage include objective singular ‘me’ in replacement for the standard possessive determiner ‘my’, for example: ‘that’s me book’, ‘me mam’ (Britain, 2007: 96).

    Finally, for mainly historical reasons, certain English dialects or varieties have been viewed more positively than others. Thus, Standard English, because of its association with being the national English language, has been perceived as the most prestigious of English varieties. However, the fact that some dialects and accents are seen to be more prestigious than others is more a reflection of judgements based on social, rather than linguistic, criteria. As society changes, so too do attitudes towards dialect, accent and variational use of English generally.
