The Forest of Dean (henceforth Forest) is one of the lesser known English Royal Forests. The area is considered locally to be a special place with a distinctive dialect. The Forest lies at the intersection of three regions: South East Wales, West Country, also known as the South West, and the West Midlands. The Forest is situated between two rivers: the River Severn to the East separates it from the rest of Gloucestershire; the River Wye to the West separates it from Wales. National borders and physical boundaries seem to play an important role in identity construction. ‘Identities matter most’ (Llamas & Watt, 2010: 17) to those communities ‘at the physical margins of the nation state’ (Llamas, 2010: 225). Such communities may engage in practices that differentiate their dialect and situate it at the centre of their own region.

森林方言

迪恩森林(以下简称森林)是鲜为人知的英国皇家森林之一。该地区在当地被认为是具有独特方言的特殊地方。森林位于三个地区的交汇处:威尔士东南部、西部乡村(也称为西南地区)和西米德兰兹。森林位于两条河流之间:东部的塞文河将其与格洛斯特郡的其他地区隔开;西部的怀伊河将其与威尔士隔开。国界和物理边界似乎在身份建构中发挥着重要作用。“身份最重要”(Llamas & Watt,2010:17)对于那些“处于民族国家的物理边缘”(Llamas,2010:225)的社区。这样的社区可能会从事区分他们方言并将其置于自己地区中心的做法。
