Portsmouth Vernacular (ISTD 2008 Award)
A mapping project that looks at the geography of the city in relation to the dialect and language that is used and has evolved in and around the city of Portsmouth. This street map of dialect is as phonetically close to the actual pronunciation as possible, which allows the viewer to perceive the areas of derivation and consider the social aspect of the territory. Map contains introduction to the Portsmouth vernacular, with alphatical index and translations for mapped dialect
