- Description
- Describes several literary representations of Older Scots language; includes RvT because Older Scots and Northern English "are not generally considered as distinct" in the late medieval period. Commends Chaucer for his comprehensive "imitation of regional speech, i.e. phonological, morphological, grammatical and lexical features, such as was not again to be achieved in comic representations of Scots abroad."
