The Scots continuum and descriptive linguistics

Scott, MR

Authors



Abstract

There is a tendency to talk about 'Scots' and 'Scottish English' as though these two entities were somehow clearly delineated and neatly identifiable, but on closer examination the situation can appear less clear-cut. For this and other reasons, Scots has often been conceived of as a language continuum that reaches from Broad Scots to Scottish Standard English.
