This book examines how written Scots indexed political affiliations in the correspondence of Scottish politicians debating the Union of the Parliaments of 1707. Combining statistical modelling, micro-social analysis and the three «waves» of sociolinguistic research, their use of Scots is explored across time, political factors and stylistic goals.
