• W1987402557 abstract "Both of the titles discussed here represent significant firsts. Scotland in Definition is the first book to chart the lexicographical history of two of Scotland’s languages—Scots and Scottish Gaelic—and in doing so it illuminates the progress of projects and ideas that have bequeathed a significant legacy to ongoing scholarship. Jamieson’s Dictionary of Scots provides a detailed analysis of the contribution made by one of the pioneers of Scottish lexicography. The Reverend John Jamieson, compiler of the substantial nineteenth-century Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language (EDSL), has remained an obscure figure despite his major contribution to the documentation and study of Scots, but this monograph does much to redress the shadowy nature of this character. One of the key objectives for Jamieson was the documentation of old language that would otherwise be ‘lost’, but discussions of Scots in the twenty-first century are more positive about its status as a living language. The publication of these two books is therefore timely. In recent years, Scots and Scottish Gaelic have fought and (often) won recognition in popular and official contexts, and the positive statements made about both in Scotland’s educational blueprint, ‘A Curriculum for Excellence’, appears to bode well for the health of these cultural cornerstones. It was not always thus, and many improvements in the treatment and perception of Scots have been directly influenced by the tireless commitment and perseverance of the authors, in various guises: Iseabail Macleod was Editorial Director of the Scottish National Dictionary Association from 1986 to 2002; J. Derrick McClure’s Why Scots Matters (1988) remains an important text for anyone interested in language rights and the cultural politics of the UK; Susan Rennie has raised the profile of Scots in creative publications for children, such as the Animal ABC: a Scots Alphabet (2002). At the present time, the status of Scottish Gaelic is also considerably healthier than it was for much of the twentieth century, with ongoing support from the Scottish Government through the National Gaelic Language Plan (2012-17). Scottish Gaelic lexicography is currently taking great strides forward with the production of the forthcoming historical dictionary, Faclair na Gaidhlig / Dictionary of the Scottish Gaelic Language, a joint project involving several Scottish universities. Macleod and McClure also acknowledge the substantial contribution of Scottish scholars to English lexicography, with the legendary figure of Sir James Murray, first editor of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), standing out from the crowd." @default.
