Summary

This study is a small part of a project conceived some twelve years ago by members of the Department of English Language and Literature of the Memorial University of Newfoundland in which the speech, dialect vocabulary, place names, and folklore of Newfoundland were to be subjected to a scrutiny worthy of their importance not only for Newfoundland but for the English-speaking world at large; for Newfoundland has preserved uniquely and almost intact until the present generation specimens, qualities, and characteristics of speech, vocabulary, nomenclature, and folklore from the cultures of which it has been compounded since the early years of the sixteenth century, though none had been studied with the rigour that contemporary scholarship demands.
