Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This glossary, compiled by the author of a book on Shetland and Orkney words, is a remarkable collection of words and phrases once prevalent in Shetland and Orkney but now forgotten or displaced by southern importations. The author gathered these terms through extensive research, including consulting historical sources and engaging with the last remaining speakers of these dialects. The result is a treasure-trove of vocabulary that paints a vivid picture of the rich and diverse linguistic heritage of these islands. The book not only preserves these words for future generations but also provides a fascinating glimpse into the history, culture, and daily life of Shetland and Orkney. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
