Inhalt
In the relatively confined space of Scotland, mainly three linguistic traditions co-exist, interact, and influence each other (or have done so in the past). The oldest of these is Scottish Gaelic, once the language of the kings of Scotland but no longer widely spoken today. It is still important as an emblem of (western) Scottish identity, however, and its influence can be traced in the variety of English spoken in the Highlands. The second linguistic tradition is Scots, which developed out of a northern branch of Old English. Today, Scots can be said to function as a non-standard dialect of English with unique characteristics at the levels of phonology, morphosyntax, and the lexicon. Finally, there is Scottish Standard English (SSE). It is often described as Standard English spoken with a Scottish accent, but there are also grammatical features characteristic of SSE.
This seminar provides the following:
  • A general understanding of Scottish topography and history and the ways in which they shaped the linguistic landscape over the centuries, resulting in the present-day situation
  • Discussions of the two problematic notions of language and dialect as exemplified in the changing roles of English and Scots in Scotland
  • An understanding of the most important characteristics of Scottish English / Scots in pronunciation, grammar and lexicon, and the ability to identify and describe them
  • Discussions of some influential empirical studies into (mainly urban) varieties of English in present-day Scotland
  • Examples of Scots/SSE in popular culture, film and literature.
