The book attempts to provide a detailed and technical description of the syntax, phonology, morphology and vocabulary of the language in two main periods: the beginnings to 1700 and from 1700 to the present day. The language's geographical variation both in the past and at the present time are fully documented and the sociolinguistic forces which lie behind linguistic innovation and its transmission provide a principal theme running through the book.WINNER of the Saltire society/National Library of Scotland Scottish Research Book of the Year Award 606 $aScots language$xHistory 606 $aLanguage and culture$zScotland 607 $aScotland$xCivilization 615 0$aScots language$xHistory. 615 0$aLanguage and culture 676 $a427.9411 700 $aJones$b Charles, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0361401 702 $aJones$b Charles$f1939- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817767603321 996 $aThe Edinburgh history of the Scots language$93918051 997 $aUNINA
