Abstract
This paper studies the anglicization of Older Scots (to 1700). It first analyses the main factors underlying this process: the frequent contacts between Scots and English people, the circulation of English works in Scotland from the fourteenth century onwards, the influence of Chaucer and his successors, printing, the triumph of the Reformation, the Union of the Crowns in 1603, and the Union of the Parliaments in 1707. Then, it presents the influence of the anglicization process on different genres and linguistic levels, and finally analyses two illustrative texts.
