Widening the Range For help with issues of language see Aitken, A.J. and McArthur, Tom, Languages of Scotland (Edinburgh: Chambers, 1979); John Corbetts Language and Scottish Literature, (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1997); The Edinburgh History of the Scots Language edited by Charles Jones (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1997); Billy Kays Scots: The Mither Tongue (Edinburgh, Mainstream, 1986); and David Murisons The Guid Scots Tongue (Edinburgh: Blackwood, 1977). The standard dictionary of Older and Middle Scots, almost near completion, is the multivolume Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue (DOST). Mairi Robinsons The Concise Scots Dictonary (Aberdeen: Aberdeen University Press, 1985) is an excellent compact dictionary.
For ease of reference, the recommended editions for writers and texts in this section are the most recently published, currently in print, or most readily available in libraries. Where such editions do not exist, reference is made to the earliest standard edition. As explained in the Introduction to these bibliographical sections, the reading suggestions offered here cannot be wholly comprehensive; for example, there is no scope to refer to general works on the Medieval and Renaissance periods in their wider European contexts, or to include citation of doctoral theses. Instead, the aim is to provide the reader with certain useful primary tools of reference. | |
