Northern and Insular Scots (Dialects of English) ReviewThe best way to use this unique volume is to listen to the dialect examples via the website connected to the book. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine what the various regional accents/dialects sound like. I did find the charts with comparative sounds (used everywhere in the book) a bit difficult as an American English speaker, but the author is very good at what he does in describing the linguistics and grammar of this fascinating region. I bought a less expensive version of the book before my trip to Orkney and Shetland, and any language or dialect enthusiast will have a great time on these amazing islands. The local bookshops have dialect literature, some with cd's, and books describing the local patois. The old Norse "Norn" is still alive in vocabulary and idiom, though with each generation, fewer words are retained.Northern and Insular Scots (Dialects of English) OverviewThis book describes the phonological, structural, and lexical natures of the Scots dialects of northern Scotland, Orkney, and Shetland which are among the most traditional varieties of "English"-are described along with an annotated bibliography.
