| Zusammenfassung: | "The Scots language is the hidden treasure of Scottish culture. For many of us it is still how we speak to each other, how we express our feelings, our humour, even our Scottishness. It was created by millions of voices coming together to share words, phrases, jokes; to understand, act on and often laugh at the world around them. Aye, but what exactly is ‘Scots’ anyway? Is it still a language? Was it ever one? To answer these and many more questions posed by English and Scots speakers alike, Dr Clive Young sets out to uncover the secret life of Scots – the centuries of vibrant debate and unconscious bilingualism hidden beneath slang and touristy tea-towels. From 19th-century dictionaries to Twitter rammies, Young explores the evolution, suppression, and potential revitalisation of Scots. He not only investigates its troubled past, but also looks towards the future with hope and a practical action plan that will allow everyone, however estranged from the mither tongue, to keep it hale and hearty for generations to come. Acause if you dinna dae it, wha wull? Exploring the everchanging nature of Scots language, Unlocking Scots by Clive Young takes us through the controversial debates behind speaking Scots. Young analyses not only how we communicate in Scots in the present day, but how it has evolved over time. It is a language that connects us through the tongue we speak and the emotional depths it allows us to convey, a language spoken and understood by around 1.5 million Scots according to the last census. He investigates the deep history of Scots and the linguistic tension surrounding those who naturally spoke it and reflects on how Scots has now been saturated in politics – and what that means for the future of Scots speakers." |
