Abstract
This article explores folk-perceptions of dialect differences within Tyne and Wear, North East England. It presents a qualitative analysis of responses to an online survey in which participants offered their descriptions of linguistic variation. These richly detailed comments are used in the composition of a nuanced picture of lay perceptions of linguistic variation in the region.
