<DIV>Dear Karen</DIV>
<DIV>John's solution seems right at this stage of the game. In the longer term, however, we shall need a system which allows as much accuracy in tagging varieties of speech as in tagging varieties of script. There are of course wide variations within Scots and within Scottish English, which we are dealing with in our proposals for 639-6 (using 4-letter tags).</DIV>
