MCCOLL MILLAR SOCIOLINGUISTIC
Robert McColl Millar examines how language has been used in Scotland since the earliest times. Four case studies illustrate the historical development of North East Scots, Scottish Standard English, Shetland Scots and Glasgow Scots. While primarily focusing on the histories of the speakers of Scots and Gaelic, and their competition with the encroaching use of (Scottish) Standard English, he also traces the decline and eventual 'death' of Pictish, British and Norn.
Immigrant languages are also discussed throughout the book.
