Phonotactics, graphotactics and contrast
The spelling conventions for dental fricatives in Anglic languages (Scots and English) have a rich and complex history. However, the various – often competing – graphemic representations ( , , and , among others) eventually settled on one digraph, , for all contemporary varieties, irrespective of the phonemic distinction between /ð/ and /θ/. This single representation is odd among the languages’ fricatives, which tend to use contrasting graphemes…

Diachronic Corpus Pragmatics
Research into pragmatic phenomena from a diachronic perspective has always relied on two seemingly distant approaches.On the one hand, a pragmaticist could engage in qualitative data assessments, requiring a more philological treatment of the sources, usually distant historically and embedded in a specific socio-cultural milieu; on the other hand, more quantitative, corpus-based studies have also been pursued, to meet the requirements of replicab…
The Language of William Dunbar

The focus is on Scotland, where Scots law, with its own nomenclature and its own repertoire of discourse features, was being shaped and marked by the co…
