- Inhalt
- "Some consider that Scots is simply a northerly dialect of English. Others assert that it is a language in its own right, as distinct from English as Dutch is distinct from German, with its own oral and literary heritage. What is the truth of the matter?" (A. J. Aitken. 1985. "Is Scots a Language?". English Today (1), 1)
In this class, we will discuss the "truth of the matter" regarding the complex status of Scots from various angles. Scots in its different manifestations can be placed on a continuum with broad Scots on one end and Scottish Standard English (SSE) on the other. Historically, however, Scots and Scottish Standard English derive from different varieties of English. Thus, in order to address the status of Present-Day Scots, it is important to consider its development and its interconnectedness with different varieties of English throughout its history.
We will do so by examining the phonological, morphological, syntactical and lexical characteristics of Scots and SSE in contradistinction to Standard British English from both a diachronic and a synchronic perspective, as represented in a variety of texts both from historical and Present-Day Scots. A special focus will be placed on the discussion of some of the research on Scots that has been done in recent years.
