Talk:Goosnargh

Douglas Adams

I'd say leave the Adams references in, as the use clearly came from the town name. Tearlach 11:08, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Parish

I removed the following statement:

It is in the parish of Broughton, and now a part of the city of Preston.

According to the List of civil parishes in Lancashire, Goosnargh is itself a parish, so it can hardly be in the parish of Broughton.--Dr Greg 16:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation

I wonder if the transcription of /ˈɡuːznər/ is accurate? I’d be surprised if the rhoticity persists in modern pronunciation. I would be very interested to hear the opinion of a resident Uzbad Gundu (talk) 13:46, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia's MOS:RHOTIC convention is to include the 'r' in transcriptions so that those people with a rhotic accent will pronounce it and those without it won't. Lancashire has traditionally been an area of rhoticity. In recent decades, rhoticity has been decreasing, especially amongst the younger generations, but it hasn't vanished completely, particularly in East Lancashire.

I found this academic paper of interest: Turton & Lennon, "An acoustic analysis of rhoticity in Lancashire, England", Journal of Phonetics 101, November 2023, 101280. (BBC summary at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-67832377) It includes two maps showing changes of rhoticity from 1962 to 2016, which claims Blackburn as the most rhotic part of England in 2016.  Dr Greg  talk  14:42, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
