Abstract

The question raised in this paper is whether one can argue that certain archaic grammatical structures from Scots have survived in the dialects of Orkney and Shetland because they had support in the grammar of Norn. I have previously touched on such a possibility regarding the lack of do-support found in constructions such as ‘minds du?’ (Ljosland 2012), but I will here examine two
further construction types: imperatives where the subject is expressed (‘skoit du’) and the differentiation between a nominal and a verbal –ing ending, e.g. ‘I go fishan becaes I like fisheen’ (Lamb 2005, 80).
