They present linguistic research which has been made possible by new and developing corpora of these languages: this encompasses work on lexis and lexicogrammar, semantics, pragmatics, orthography, and punctuation. Throughout the volume, the findings of analysis are accompanied by discussion of the methodologies adopted, including issues of corpus design and representativeness, search possibilities, and the complementarity and interoperability of linguistic resources. Together, the chapters present the forefront of the research which is currently being directed towards the linguistics of the languages of Scotland, and point to an exciting future for research driven by ever more refined corpora and related language resources.Scottish cultural review of language and literature ;v. 19.Scots languageDiscourse analysisData processingScots languageResearchData processingScottish Gaelic languageDiscourse analysisData processingScottish Gaelic languageResearchData processingEnglish languageScotlandDiscourse analysisData processingEnglish languageResearchScotlandData processingComputational linguisticsScotlandLanguagesScots languageDiscourse analysisData processing.Scots languageResearchData processing.Scottish Gaelic languageDiscourse analysisData processing.Scottish Gaelic languageResearchData processing.English languageDiscourse analysisData processing.English languageResearchData processing.Computational linguistics.427.9411427/.9411Anderson Wendy1570855MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790552203321Language in Scotland3844791UNINA
