In all the above examples, the ‘first compounds’, both singular and plural, refer to items which have not been mentioned before, and which are not adjacent to the speaker; they are thus referentially distinct from the normal use of Standard English ‘this’.
Although we can fairly say that /рi:z/ and /рejz/ are syntactically distinct from their equivalent first compounds, what of the other adjective compounds /рat р?r/, /рi-ki: р?r/ and /рej р?r/? There seems to be no syntactic division in these cases between them and their equivalent simple forms, so it is perhaps not surprising that Table 2 shows them to be without exception much less common than /рi:z ji:r/ and /рejz ji:r/, which have a distinct syntactic role. Forms such as
Us got in thicky there “field and
Good as “gold, that there “thing was. do not seem any different from
Us “mowed thicky little plat . . . and
He turned that “hare “three “times . . .
There is certainly no apparent correlation with any notional degree of emphasis.
In the case of the singular pronouns, the ‘first compounds’ are extremely rare, cf.
He done “well with that there. (/рat р?r/)
He went out “broad, this here what’s “dead now. (/рi:z ji:r/).
The basic opposition here is between the simple forms and the ‘second compounds’ /рis ji:r ji:r/ and /рat р?r р?r/. Here the syntactic division is fairly clear: the second compounds are used in certain adverbial phrases, particularly after ‘like’, where the demonstrative refers to no specific antecedent:
Tis getting like this here “here.
I’ve had to walk home “after that there there. and also, with reference to a specific antecedent, when particular emphasis is drawn to the item in question.
I’ve had the “wireless there, this here “here, for “good many years.
One of these here “crocks, something like that there “there.
In all other cases, the simple forms are used.
“This was coming “this way.
Then he did meet with “this.
That’s “one “bad “job, “that was.
/рat/ is used particularly frequently in two phrases, ‘likes of that and ‘and that’.
He doed a bit of “farmering and likes of “that.
I got a “jumper and that home “now.
