Summary "Scandinavian Influence on Southern Lowland Scotch" by George T. Flom is a linguistic and historical study that was likely written in the early 20th century. This work analyzes the impact of Scandinavian languages on Southern Lowland Scotch, particularly during the time of Viking settlements and through subsequent interactions. The focus is on identifying Scandinavian loanwords within Scottish literature and the complexities behind their integration into the English dialect. The opening of the work introduces Flom's aim to compile a list of Scandinavian loanwords in Scottish texts while acknowledging that prior research has only lightly touched upon this linguistic influence. The author discusses the sources he has utilized, primarily involving works from the Scottish Text Society and other significant Scottish literary pieces. Flom emphasizes the challenges faced in determining whether certain words are direct loanwords or native Scottish elements, and he sets the groundwork for a comprehensive exploration of the lexical influence of Scandinavian on Lowland Scotch throughout the text.
