到目前为止，对苏格兰独立的社会态度的研究往往是结构化调查或采访品种。这项研究旨在支持和建立在最近的社会态度调查的结果，苏格兰独立使用什么是，据作者所知，一种新的方法。这涉及到将自动语义标注的语料库语言学技术与话语历史批评话语分析（CDA）框架相结合。将其应用于一个支持独立的互联网论坛建立的300万字语料库，分析表明，首先，独立将以积极的方式加强，巩固或改变苏格兰身份，其次，明显缺乏寻求拆除英国身份或提及历史争端的战略。因此，这种方法的评估表明，它成功地管理，以产生支持以前的研究结果，挑战现有的刻板印象，并允许新的见解苏格兰民族主义意识形态。
To date, studies of social attitudes towards Scottish independence tend to have been of the structured survey or interview variety. This study seeks to support and build upon the findings of recent social attitude surveys on Scottish independence using what is, as far as the author is aware, a novel methodology. This involves combining the corpus linguistic technique of automated semantic tagging with a discourse-historical Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework.Applying this to a three-million-word corpus built from a pro-independence internet discussion forum, the analysis shows, firstly, a view that independence will strengthen, consolidate or transform Scottish identity in a positive way and, secondly, a distinct lack of strategies that seek to dismantle British identity or refer to historical disputes. Thus, an evaluation of this methodology suggests that it successfully manages to produce findings that support previous research, challenge existing stereotypes, and allow new insight into Scottish nationalist ideology.
