Scouseology
[Noun]
Scouseology
is
a
documentary
short
investigating
the
development of the Liverpool (or
Scouse) Dialect and the impact
on the city, it’s residents and
it’s culture. Using interviews
with local Liverpudlians from
different
parts
of
the
community, the film aims to
create a detailed portrait of
what it is to be a Scouser.
2. Scouseology discusses with
interviewees how they believe
the accent has influenced them
personally and professionally.
The film also discusses some of
the negative aspects of being
identified as a Scouser, such as
the perceived aggressiveness of
the accent and the occasional
stereotypes of criminality that
come with it.
1. From the Beatles to the three
graces, Liverpool is a well
renowned city thriving with life
and culture. Its standing as a
bustling port led the way for
settlers
of
various
nationalities
bringing
new
languages to the city; imparting
their
characteristics
on
the
development of modern Liverpool
and it’s dialect.
3. Scouseology traces the ups
and downs of owning a Liverpool
accent whilst celebrating its
individuality
through
highlighting its humour and the
Scousers devotion to their city.
Interviewees
[Noun]
Roger McGough CBE
Sam Avery
[Poet]
[Comedian]
1. McGough grew up in
Litherland, Liverpool and after
leaving the city for university
was soon back running arts
events in and around the city.
Along with Adrian Henri and
Brian Patten, with whom he
published two best-selling
volumes of verse, McGough won
fame as one of the "Mersey
Poets".
1. Avery actually grew up in
Ormskirk but is still a proud
Scouser. He gained a reputation
in Liverpool as being ‘Able to
spark the dullest of rooms into
life with his warm, infectious
humour and quick wit which makes
him ideal as either an act or
compere’
2. In interviewing McGough we
wanted to find out how the
accent has influenced they way
in which he writes and performs
his poems as well as his
opinions on the new generation
and stereotypes of Liverpool.
2. Avery gave us an insight into
the clever wit that comes with
being a Scouser and explains how
he is now trying to get away
from
using
the
typical
stereotypes
in
his
comedy
routine.
