I’ve never once considered writing up interviews as eye dialect - it’s entirely othering, and sees your accent as mainstream and there’s as an oddity. But very telling to look at who uses it, and the people they use it for.
the whole "pulls a miserable face" part is the worst bit. it's like he's positioning himself as a zookeeper who alone understands the 'ordinary welsh person' and their primitive modes of communication. you'd never write the expressions an academic makes in an interview like this
(obviously it's not actually an article, or an interview, but it's like - you wouldn't see him write out a conversation with a middle englander with stage direction in place of their opinion)
Yes, the interviewee cannot even articulate his opinions, what an alien! Reads less like social affairs writing and more like early 1900s nature writing.
