Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of language and its impact on national identity, focusing on the historical and cultural nuances of the Scottish dialect. Set against the backdrop of a newly unified Great Britain in the late 18th century, the author embarks on a meticulous exploration of the distinctions between Scottish and English speech.
