Product Information
The methods of sociolinguistics and dialectology are combined in this study of linguistic change and language attitudes in an inner-city area of Glasgow. The aim is to give a rounded view of the present state of a traditional dialect of Scots under the pressures of modern life. Vocabulary, morphology and lexical incidence are studied in detail. The interviewees air concerns such as alienation between the generations, linguistic decorum, and Scottishness.Product Identifiers
