In this revised and extended edition, David Purves argues that the Scots language has lost prestige as a direct result of Scotland's loss of independence. As it has always been closely related to English, it has been possible to represent it as an incorrect or corrupt dialect, rather than the language of a people.
This book sets out the grammatical and idiomatic features of Scots, quoting examples from literature, proverbs, songs and colloquial speech to provide a resource for teachers and students of Scotland's linguistic heritage.
