A Dictionary of Scots Words and Phrases in Current Use
James A.C. Stevenson | Iseabail Macleod
Language Arts & Disciplines / Linguistics / General
This dictionary covers a multitude of Scots words and expressions, some of which have entered into English worldwide, some of which are peculiarly Scottish and communicate much about Scotland's unique culture and society. Often light in tone, it offers valuable insight into the linguistic development of Scots.
James A. C. Stevenson was editor-in-chief of The Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue until his retirement.
Iseabail Macleod has been the editorial director of the Scottish National Dictionary Association (1986-2002) and is now editorial consultant at Scottish Language Dictionaries.
