- catalog abstract ""The 18th century saw the first major and sustained attempt to establish what were viewed by a small social and educational elite as the norms for a 'correct' and 'standard' pronunciation of the English language. The reaction in Scotland to this attempt at standardisation along the lines of a Metropolitan London norm was mixed. Some saw considerable political, economic and educational value in its adoption; others lamented the passing of the indigenous 'Scotch' pronunciation and argued for its retention." "Several Scottish authors of grammar books and pronouncing dictionaries of the period were intent on promoting a Scottish and not an English standard, while the speech habits of 'the Pulpit, the College and the Bar' were being put forward for emulation." "Here is a detailed summary of attitudes to Scottish pronunciation in the 18th century and the first in-depth coverage of the ways in which individual vowels, diphthongs and consonants were pronounced, outlining, where appropriate, the social contexts within which they were employed."--BOOK JACKET.".
