Sammanfattning

This short paper studies the distribution of Scotticisms from a list compiled by David Hume in a large collection of 18th century publications. We use regular expression search to find the items on the list in the ECCO collection, and then apply regression analysis to test whether the distribution of Scotticisms in works first published in Scotland is significantly different from the distribution of Scotticisms in works first published in England. We further refine our analysis to trace the influence of variables such as publication date, genre and author’s country of origin.
