Description
The Doric Dictionary provides a unique insight into the language and dialects of the North-east of Scotland. Drawing from the works of notable writers from the region, this two-way lexicon explains words and phrases such as meggie-monyfeet and hornie-gollach, offering a glimpse into the diverse forms of Doric used across different counties and villages. The dictionary contains a range of variants for certain terms, including eight different ways to refer to a seagull. This new edition has been enhanced with additional vocabulary from W. P. Milne's novel Eppie Elrick, adding depth and variety to the existing collection. With its focus on regional dialects and linguistic diversity, The Doric Dictionary is an interesting resource for those interested in language and culture.
