Biography

Caroline Macafee was one of the editors of The Scots Thesaurus and editor of A Concise Ulster Dictionary. Her doctoral thesis on the survival of Scots in Glasgow was published as Traditional Dialect in the Modern World. More recently, she edited A. J. Aitken's posthumous monograph, The Older Scots Vowels, and incorporated revised and updated versions of some of his writings, together with work of her own, in her "History of Scots to 1700", a contribution to the Introduction in Vol. XII of A Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue. She has published numerous papers and articles on the Scots language, and an online bibliography of linguistic work on the language, later maintained by Prof. Marina Dossena at http://www.unibg.it/anglistica/slin/scot-bib.htm.
