Synopsis
"This exhaustive exposition of Ulster-Scots grammar is a much-needed complement to—and in some ways extension of—existing work on vocabulary and phonology. Dr. Robinson's book is surely fit to become the standard reference on this subject, indispensable to any serious study of the language."
—James Fenton, author of The Hamely Tongue
