The Scottish Corpus of Texts and Speech (SCOTS for short) has been available online
since November 2004. It currently contains over 2.3 million words of texts in varieties of
Broad Scots and Scottish English. Regular additions are made to the textual content of
the corpus and the integrated search and analysis software is continually undergoing
improvement. Over the next year, the corpus will grow to around 4 million words, 20% of
which will comprise spoken language in the form of conversations and interviews.
