Excerpt from Studies in the Dialects of the Kentish Charters of the Old English Period: A Dissertation
The purpose of the following study in the Kentish charters of the Old English period is threefold: first, to arrange in chrono logical order all the original charters of presumably purely Kentish origin dating from before the Norman Conquest, and to present the phonology of the stressed vowels and diphthongs in the charters so arranged; second, to examine these presumably Kentish docu ments for non-kentish dialect forms; and, finally, to try to account for the presence of such forms if they are found in any considerable proportion.
