The Doric Dictionary, a remarkable two-way lexicon of words and phrases, offers a comprehensive exploration of the linguistic landscape of the North-east of Scotland. Drawing from the former Banffshire in the North, traversing through Aberdeenshire, reaching the Mearns and North Angus, and incorporating words from the published works of renowned writers of the 19th and 20th centuries, this dictionary showcases the rich diversity and evolution of the Doric dialect.
As the writer himself acknowledges in the foreword, the Doric language is not a monolithic entity but rather a tapestry of diverse forms. Words can undergo significant changes not only across counties but even within villages. The Dictionary is a treasure trove of linguistic variations, with no fewer than eight different terms used to describe a seagull.
In this latest edition (2018), the dictionary has been further enriched by a delightful infusion of Buchan vocabulary drawn from W. P. Milnes historical novel, "Eppie Elrick." This addition adds a new dimension of richness and depth to the linguistic tapestry of the region, highlighting the interplay between different dialects and literary influences.
The Doric Dictionary serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the linguistic heritage of the North-east of Scotland. Its comprehensive coverage, coupled with the inclusion of historical novel vocabulary, provides a deep insight into the evolution and diversity of the Doric dialect. Whether you are a language enthusiast, a historian, or simply someone curious about the rich cultural heritage of this region, this dictionary is a must-have for your collection.
