MANUAL OF MODERN SCOTS ' BY WILLIAM GRANT, M.A. (Aberdeen) LECTURER ON PHONETICS IN ABERDEEN TRAINING CENTRE LECTURER (1916—1920) ON THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY CONVENER OF THE SCOTTISH DIALECTS COMMITTEE AND JAMES MAIN DIXON, Litt.Hum.D. M.A. St Andrews University FELLOW OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH PROFESSOR OF COMPARATIVE LITERATURE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CAMBRIDGE AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS 1921 PREFACE rpHE idea of this work first occurred to one of the authors^ J- Dr Main Dixon, in the course of his experience in lecturing on Scottish Literature to his students in the University of Southern California. He felt the need of a book to which he could refer them for details of Scottish Grammar and Pronuncia- tion, which he could employ, in class, for the recitation of our literary masterpieces, and which the students themselves, after they left the University, could use either for purposes of declama- tion or teaching. The book is divided into three parts. Part I describes the sounds of Modem Scots with examples of their use written in the alphabet of the International Phonetic Association. Part II contrasts Scots Grammar with Standard English usage and gives copious illustrations from Modern Scottish Literature. Part III consists of a series of extracts from Modern Scots writers and a selection of ballads and songs with phonetic transcriptions. Most of these transcriptions are in Standard Scottish Speech (see Introduction, p. xxi); Extracts XII A, XIII A, XVI A, XVII A, IX B, XIV B, may be described as Standard Scottish with local colour; Extracts VII A, XIV A, XX A, XXII A, XXIV A, are intended to represent the exact speech of definite sub-dialects. The authors desire to express their obligation to the following publishers and writers for kindly allowing them to reproduce copyright matter: Messrs Hurst and Blackett, Ltd. for the passage fi:om George Macdonald's Alec Forbes; Dr Charles Murray, and his publishers Messrs Constable and Co., Ltd., for the poem of "The Whistle"; Messrs Douglas and Foulis for the extract from Dr Alexander's Johnny Gihb; the Executors of the late Dr John Watson for the passage from Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush; Messrs Sands and Co. for the extract from for permission Salmond's My Man Sandy^ ; Mr J. Logie Robertson ' My Man Sandy, published by Messrs Sands and Co., Edinburgh and London, Is. net. VI PREFACE to print "The Absconding Elder" from his Horace in Homespun; Mr Joseph Waugh for the story of the "Wooer" from Robbie Boo; Mr J. J. Bell for the extract from Wee Macgreegor entitled "Taiblet"; Mr Alexander Kennedy for permission to use Mr Alexander Anderson's (Surfaceman's) poem of "Cuddle Doon"; the publishers of the Dumfries and Oalloway Courier and Herald for the passage from Trotter's Oalloway Gossip; Mr James S. Angus for the verses entitled "Klingrahool"; Lady Murray, Miss Hilda M. R. Murray and Sir Oswyn Murray for the extract from the Southern Scottish version of "Ruth" by the late Sir James A. H. Murray. Grateful acknowledgement is also due (1) to Professor Lawrence Melville Riddle, Head of the French Department in the University of Southern California, for his careful revision of Part I and his many useful suggestions, (2) to the Rev. Alexander Grieve, M.A., D.Phil., Glasgow, for valuable assistance in the correction and criticism of Parts I and II, (3) to the Rev. Robert McKinlay, M.A., Galston, for much information on local dialect forms and middle Scots, (4) to the Reader and Printers of the Cambridge University Press for their great patience and care in the production of this work. Finally the authors have to thank the Carnegie Trustees very heartily for the financial guarantee with the help of which the book is published. W. G. J. M. D.

  • AJ Aitken a History of Scots

    AJ Aitken a History of Scots

    A. J. Aitken A history of Scots (1985)1 Edited by Caroline Macafee Editor’s Introduction In his ‘Sources of the vocabulary of Older Scots’ (1954: n. 7; 2015), AJA had remarked on the distribution of Scandinavian loanwords in Scots, and deduced from this that the language had been influenced by population movements from the North of England. In his ‘History of Scots’ for the introduction to The Concise Scots Dictionary, he follows the historian Geoffrey Barrow (1980) in seeing Scots as descended primarily from the Anglo-Danish of the North of England, with only a marginal role for the Old English introduced earlier into the South-East of Scotland. AJA concludes with some suggestions for further reading: this section has been omitted, as it is now, naturally, out of date. For a much fuller and more detailed history up to 1700, incorporating much of AJA’s own work on the Older Scots period, the reader is referred to Macafee and †Aitken (2002). Two textual anthologies also offer historical treatments of the language: Görlach (2002) and, for Older Scots, Smith (2012). Corbett et al. eds. (2003) gives an accessible overview of the language, and a more detailed linguistic treatment can be found in Jones ed. (1997). How to cite this paper (adapt to the desired style): Aitken, A. J. (1985, 2015) ‘A history of Scots’, in †A. J. Aitken, ed.

    COMPOSING THEMSELVES COMPOSING THEMSELVES: MUSIC, MORALITY, AND SOCIAL HARMONY IN WOMEN'S WRITING, 1740-1815 By LESLIE RITCHIE, B. MUS., B. ED., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature McMaster University © Copyright by Leslie Ritchie, October 2000 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2000) MCMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Composing Themselves: Music, Morality, and Social Harmony in Women's Writing, 1740-1815 AUTHOR: Leslie Ritchie, B. Mus., B. Ed., M.A. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Peter Walmsley NUMBER OF PAGES: ix, 334 11 Composing Themselves: Music, Morality, and Social Harmony in Women's Writing, 1740-1815 This interdisciplinary thesis examines rare poetic, didactic, fictional, and musical texts written by women in latter eighteenth-century Britain for instances of and resistance to contemporary perceptions of music as a form of social control. The opening chapter defines and historicizes the term "social harmony," by discussing neoclassical views of musical affect as productive of beneficial social behaviours and gender definition. By delineating canonical aesthetic theorists' influence upon women writers and musicians and assessing music's place in women's moral education, this chapter complicates the idea of separate public and private spheres of cultural achievement and introduces expanded views of women's agency as composers and performers. Next, the thesis appraises women's engagement with charity, musically enacted, through formal musical and textual analysis of hymns, songs, and benefit performances and publications. It marks the productive intersection of patronage and charity for women, who could articulate divergent responses to such idealized or stereotyped objects of pity as prostitutes and madwomen and benefit materially from so doing.

A study of how the Kennedys extended their influence across south-west Scotland and acquired an earldom has never been undertaken. This thesis aims to fill the significant gap in our understanding of how lordship operated in this region. In particular, analysis of the interactions between the Kennedys and the earls of Carrick, usually the monarch or his heir, demonstrates that the key factor in their success was their policy of close alignment and support of the crown.
