Description
ULSTER-SCOTS NAMES FOR PEOPLE is a definitive collection of over 2000 'people' names (surnames, first names, generic names for individuals and groups and descriptive names), as they are rendered in the Ulster-Scots language. These lists are arranged alphabetically under the English equivalent word for easy reference. They have been compiled from the comprehensive database of the Ulster-Scots Academy's "English to Ulster-Scots Historical Dictionary", from which numerous citations and historical examples are provided to illustrate the sources, usages and senses of the Ulster-Scots words. This book is the first "Ulster-Scots Name Book" in a ground-breaking new series which will draw on the same historical dictionary treasure chest of authenticated vocabulary, but for other subjects: Birds, Plants and Wildlife, Fish and Fishing, Place Names, etc. As well as being a nostalgic 'browse', these books will be an essential tool for Ulster-Scots writers, translators, teachers, students and a delightful checklist for native speakers and Ulster-Scots language practitioners in general.
