Dear colleagues,


(apologies for cross-posting)


We are delighted to announce that the upcoming masterclass on Varieties of Scots in Late Modern Times will be hosted as an online event on 7 and 8 June 2022 at the University of Oslo, Norway.

Four scholars active in the field of English historical sociolinguistics will explore theoretical and applied perspectives on the changing status and use of Scots over the course of four lectures:


18th-century Scots viewed through the lens of female letter-writers’ discursive practices
Christine Elsweiler, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München

Graphic cues and expressive form in eighteenth-century Scottish writing
Jeremy Smith, University of Glasgow

Periodisation MasterChef, or how to chop up the timeline
Joanna Kopaczyk, University of Glasgow

The status of Scots: changing perceptions
Derrick McClure, University of Aberdeen
