They present linguistic research which has been made possible by new and developing corpora of these languages: this encompasses work on lexis and lexicogrammar, semantics, pragmatics, orthography, and punctuation. Throughout the volume, the findings of analysis are accompanied by discussion of the methodologies adopted, including issues of corpus design and representativeness, search possibilities, and the complementarity and interoperability of linguistic resources. Together, the chapters present the forefront of the research which is currently being directed towards the linguistics of the languages of Scotland, and point to an exciting future for research driven by ever more refined corpora and related language resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'>Contents<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'>Contributors<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'>Acknowledgements<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'>Wendy Anderson: Introduction<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'>Jeremy J.
