Research interests

I'm a historical linguist with a special interest in the medieval and early modern history of the Scots language. I am also interested in the historiography of minority languages and how it affects their modern perceptions. This is especially important in the context of Scots. I have been involved in language advocacy and policy development for Scots, drawing on my recent project, The Future of Scots (funded by the RSE, 2020-2023).

I use corpus-driven methods to uncover textual standardisation and I'm also interested in formulaicity in language, as revealed through all kinds of repetitive patterns. I have co-edited books on Applications of Pattern-Driven Methods in Corpus Linguistics (John Benjamins, 2018) and on Binomials in the History of English (Cambridge University Press, 2017), such as to grant and to give, law and order, back and forth, which are prime examples of formulaicity and repetition.

I find it fascinating to explore legal texts composed in medieval Scottish burghs, since this is where the Scots language came to the fore as an official and formal means of communication. I have studied this evolving vernacular legal discourse in The Legal Language of Scottish Burghs (Oxford University Press, 2013) and introduced the communities of practice framework to historical linguistic studies (Communities of Practice in the History of English, co-ed. with Andreas H. Jucker, John Benjamins, 2013). More recently, I was part of the FITS team at the University of Edinburgh (From Inglis to Scots: Mapping sounds to spellings) and worked on reconstructing the relationships between the proliferation of spelling variants and their postulated sound values in pre-1500 legal and administrative Scots texts. In our publications (Kopaczyk et al. 2018, Maguire et al. 2019, Molineaux et al. 2023), we have introduced corpus methods to the study of historical phonology and rewritten the histories of several sound changes postulated for Scots. We have also co-edited a volume of cutting-edge research on Historical dialectology in the digital age (Edinburgh University Press, 2019). 

I'm increasingly drawn towards Early Modern Scots and I'd like to develop a systematic approach for tracing the demise of Scots under pressure from English in the official registers. I'm planning to look more closely at these two standardising languages in competition, as I'm also interested in historical multilingualism and why different languages were selected for different communicative purposes. I have collaborated on a project tracing Old Polish in medieval Latin land court books (eROThA). This brings us again to formulaic language, conventions, genre expectations, which - in turn - evoke various pragmatic strands of inquiry, such as (im)politeness and contextual language choices. I'm also fascinated with the early modern Scottish diaspora abroad, especially in the Baltic and Central Europe.
