Abstract:

Almost twenty years after its first publication, the second edition of this
bestselling dictionary gives the most up-to-date picture of the Scots language
today. 

This new edition of the Concise Scots Dictionary has been fully revised and
updated to include new words and usages that reflect modern Scots usage,
alongside thorough coverage of older Scots. Combining a succinct yet
accessible style with a clear layout and durable hardback format, this is a
user-friendly and robust dictionary that you can return to again and again for
reference and enjoyment. 

The dictionary contains:

• Over 40,000 headwords: 23,000 full entries and 17,000 cross-references
• Over 1,100 words and usages new for this edition, including coverage of
Orkney and Shetland Scots
• Comprehensive coverage of variant spellings and regional forms, including
Ulster Scots
• Extensive cross-referencing to allow for easy navigation
• Updated and extended pronunciation information
• Information on grammar and register to show how and when to use the words
• Inflected forms, including verb tenses
• Field labels to indicate where a word belongs to a specialist domain
• Thousands of idioms, phrases and proverbs
• Improved and extended information on etymologies
• Extensive coverage of language, from older Scots to modern-day usage
