Scope and Contents Marked 'Mackinnon A8' and noted thus in previous historical records. This notebook is near empty, with some initial notes on the linguistic differences between Goidelic and Brythonic languages. Breton is referred to in this ntoebook as 'Armoric', and Scots is referred to as 'Scotch'. These may have been the start of a text or lesson plan on the historical and comparative linguistics of Goidelic and Brythonic, but it does not have much to offer, other than maybe some insight into Mackinnon's...

Scope and Contents Mackinnon appears to have written some notes, perhaps in preparation to publish a textbook that he had possibly expected to title 'Celtic Philology'. This is the first part, which he has titled 'Phonology'. Despite this title, much of the notebook's contents are descriptions, as they were understood at the time, of the classification of Celtic languages as a branch of Indo-European, how they are related to other languages, and a detailed account of the linguistic typology of Celtic...

Scope and Contents Mackinnon appears to have written some notes, perhaps in preparation to publish a textbook that he had possibly expected to title 'Celtic Philology'. This is the second part in the collection, but Mackinnon has labelled it (in error?) as the first part, which he has titled 'Sounds'. The notebook's contents have a lot of information about the latest linguistic theory at this time, as well as attempts to describe defunct Celtic languages, such as Gaulish, as much as extant Celtic languages at...

Scope and Contents

Mackinnon appears to have written some notes, perhaps in preparation to publish a textbook that he had possibly expected to title 'Celtic Philology'. This is the second part, which he has titled 'Morphology'. Although part of a series on 'Celtic' linguistics, much of the notebook's contents appear to focus on the morphology of Scottish Gaelic, and includes nominal and verbal morphology.
