Researchers at Glasgow University have completed work on the online resource, which contains more than four million words in Scots and Scottish English. As well as meaning and usage, the project also has audio links, allowing people to hear words being spoken. The site, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, can be accessed at www.scottishcorpus.ac.uk.

I have worked in Ayrshire in the past for 4 years. What is the link, you might ask? I might reply "do you no ken?" If someone said this to me my first response might be "I don't know Ken, do you know Ken?" but knowing what I know "ken" means know. How is this expression found in Aberdeenshire and Ayrshire and not in the Central belt. hrcf Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         NEEPS Forum Index -> Art & History All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Welcome to Neeps----------------Say HelloSite Stuff What's in the area----------------What's on TV/RadioWhat's on?Meet Up DetailsNeeps Food Co-opScottish ProducersLocal Links The Green bit----------------Views on the newsGreen BuildingRRRR - refuse, Reduce, Reuse, RecyclePermaculture & TransitionGreen ParentingGlobal Warming, Climate Change etcGreen Health & BeautyThe Debating Chamber The Great Outdoors----------------GardeningWeather 2006 - archiveGo Wild In The CountryPetsSheep, Goats, Pigs and Horses etcPoultryweather 2007 - archiveWeather Diary 2009Weather Diary 2008 ArchiveBee Keeping Make, Do and Mend----------------The North Eats........The GarageGadgets, Gizmos and Techie StuffThe Frugal FoodieBetter Than Bought Arts & Crafts----------------Crafty StuffPhotographyPoetry & WritingsArt & HistoryDressmaking The Fun Bit----------------A Wee BletherUnder The Hammer - The Neeps Auction RoomThe Neeps EmporiumReviewsFun & GamesThe Neeps Arms  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Card File  Gallery  Forum Archive Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
