Drawing on Agha’s (2003) framework of <em>enregisterment</em>, I examine a selection of literary representations of the ‘northern’ dialect that are now included in <em>The Salamanca Corpus </em>(García-Bermejo Giner et al., 2011–), as well as contemporary lexicographical evidence on northern words. My aim is to provide a window into contemporary ideas that saw and constructed the North as the ‘other’, whilst showing, as a result, that such views were immediately relevant to how the dialect and their speakers were imagined and represented alongside the emerging standard. To do so, I undertake a twofold quantitative and qualitative analysis of the evidence to identify the repertoire of forms that were associated with the dialect and the values attributed to such forms.</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of English Studies}, author={Ruano-García, Javier}, year={2020}, month={Oct.}, pages={185–205} }
