The language it contains tells the story of Yorkshire in the words of the people who experienced it, providing a powerful new look at the county's intangible heritage and what it means to be from Yorkshire. The Dictionary uses a broad range of sources to widen the English lexicon, with new vocabulary for (among others) by-names and place-names; for agricultural and animal terms; and for specialist craft and industries. As well as new words such as 'fulture' (a mixture of manure and bedding), 'working tree' (a stand for hides to be worked upon), 'stonery' (a place where stones could be quarried), and 'wand haggar' (part of a wood set out for producing wands, or saplings, for baskets, hurdles, etc.), there are earlier references to established words that appear in the Oxford English Dictionary, such as 'necessary-house' (privy, here from 1414 compared to 1609), 'orange' (as a colour, here from 1504 compared to 1600) and 'oliver' (a tilt hammer, used by early iron-workers, here from 1350, compared to 1846). The dictionary also fills in gaps in our knowledge of the development of regional language, from 'borrowings' from the Baltic and Low Countries to its decline from the Tudor period on.' --  |c Back cover.
