The Discursive Construction of the Scots Language
Author: Johann Wolfgang Unger
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027271348
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
This monograph is about how the Scots language is discursively constructed, both from ‘above’ (through texts such as educational policies, debates in parliament and official websites) and from ‘below’ (in focus group discussions among Scottish people). It uses the interdisciplinary discourse-historical approach to critical discourse analysis to examine what discursive strategies are used in different texts, and also to investigate salient features of context. This allows a broader discussion of the role of this language in Scotland, and how different ways of constructing a language can percolate through society, appearing in both important, elite texts and discussions among ordinary people. It thus contributes to the body of knowledge about contemporary Scots, but also expands the range of possible applications for critical discourse analysis approaches.

The Impact of Latin Culture on Medieval and Early Modern Scottish Writing
Author: Ian Johnson
Publisher: Medieval Institute Publications
ISBN: 158044282X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
In the late medieval and early modern periods, Scottish latinity had its distinctive stamp, most intriguingly so in its effects upon the literary vernacular and on themes of national identity. This volume shows how, when viewed through the prism of latinity, Scottish textuality was distinctive and fecund. The flowering of Scottish writing owed itself to a subtle combination of literary praxis, the ideal of eloquentia, and ideological deftness, which enabled writers to service a burgeoning national literary tradition.
