This comprehensive guide explores the grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation of modern speech in Scotland, as well as the investigation of Older Scots written texts.

Each chapter offers a concise overview of the subject matter, accompanied by case studies that illustrate research techniques for those new to the field. Suitable as an accessible introduction to key issues in Scots language study, this volume is ideal for undergraduate students seeking to understand how language has evolved in Scotland.
