Abstract
The Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue defines and illustrates every meaning of every word used in written English in Scotland up to 1700, when the Scots language merges with standard English. It touches every facet of medieval and renaissance Scottish life and society and supplies a wealth of illustration in the form of quotations accompanying every word and meaning it discusses. It is an indispensable reference tool for historians of Scots language, literature, politics, law, medicine, agriculture, and all other aspects of Scottish society. This Scots OED is published in paper-bound parts (fascicles). Every 4-5 years, recent fascicles are published in a cloth-bound volume. Part 46 takes the dictionary up to Service, and A - S(c)hot is available in either fascicles or bound volumes. DOST is unique and has no competition.
