Extract
Ronald K. S. Macaulay, Extremely common eloquence: Constructing Scottish identity through narrative. Amsterdam and New York: Rodopi, 2005. 299. Pb. $81.
The title frames Macaulay's volume concisely. For British English speakers (but perhaps less so for Americans), the collocation “extremely common eloquence” plays on the negative stereotype that M is challenging: that of working-class people as taciturn and inarticulate. In the subtitle we find clues to the “language in use” orientation of the book, the British regional focus, and the primary data.
