About the Book

This book comprehensively shifts the Ulster-Scots debate on to new ground. Accessible to everyone - from novice language learner to professional translator - it is an indispensable guide for writers of the authentic modern and literary tongue, and an exhaustive exposition of its grammar and syntax. The text also serves as a fascinating reminder of Ulster's position at a linguistic crossroads. It provides not just a detailed description of points of grammar and recommendations for use in writing, but also a commentary on the interrelationship between Scots, Gaelic and other Germanic dialects and languages, including as they have travelled to the New World. This book is designed as the first compact reference grammar of any variety of Scots, focusing on Ulster usage but also covering other varieties. With its clear layout and concise explanations, it will become an invaluable reference for everyone who takes an interest in Ulster-Scots/Scotch-Irish heritage and in the languages of Scotland and Ireland.
About the Author: Ian James Parsley studied Germanic Linguistics at the University of Newcastle, during which time he compiled ground-breaking research on the impact of sound change on the lexicon of Germanic languages. Perhaps better known in Northern Ireland as a political and social commentator, Ian remains a member of the UK Institute of Linguists and the Irish Translators' and Interpreters' Association, maintaining a strong interest in innovative adult language learning methods and in promoting knowledge of languages as an economic driver. He was appointed Chair of the Ulster-Scots Broadcasting Fund in 2012. A native of Groomsport, on the edge of the Ards Peninsula, he now lives in County Antrim with his wife Paula.
