The book offers a comprehensive overview of forms of modern Irish within a general linguistic framework. Starting with information on the sociolinguistics of modern Irish and on the overall sound system of the language, it then proceeds with a tripartite division of the present-day language into northern, western and southern Irish. It gives specific information on the features of each dialect and considers many sub-divisions, using maps and tables to illustrate clearly what is the subject of discussion. There are several innovations in the book, such as a system of lexical sets which facilitate the description and analysis of variation and change in modern Irish. The data for the book stems from recordings of more than 200 speakers and all the statements made about the structure of Irish are based on native speakers' speech samples. These are supplied online with a software interface which allows users to quickly orient themselves among the varieties of Irish via clickable maps. A number of further issues are focused on in the book, such as the possibility of dialect reconstruction and the use of place-name evidence for determining the earlier distribution of Irish. Additional historical and background information is provided so that scholars and students without any previous knowledge of the language can readily grasp the themes and issues discussed.

Irish English, also termed 'Anglo-Irish' or 'Hiberno-English', as in this book, is not usually perceived as having a grammatical system of its own. Markku Filppula here challenges this misconception and offers a descriptive and contact-linguistic account of the grammar of Hiberno-English. Drawing on a wide range of authentic materials documenting Hiberno-English dialects past and present Filppula examines: * the most distinctive grammatical features of these dialects * relationships with earlier and other regional varieties of English * the continuing influence of the Irish language on Hiberno-English * similarities between Hiberno-English and other Celtic-influenced varieties of English spoken in Scotland and Wales The Grammar of Irish English is a comprehensive empirical study which will be an essential reference for scholars of Hiberno-English and of value to all those working in the field of Germanic linguistics.

In this book, Aidan Doyle traces the history of the Irish language from the time of the Norman invasion at the end of the 12th century to independence in 1922, combining political, cultural, and linguistic history. The book is divided into seven main chapters that focus on a specific period in the history of the language; they each begin with a discussion of the external history and position of the Irish language in the period, before moving on to investigate the important internal changes that took place at that time. A History of the Irish Language makes available for the first time material that has previously been inaccessible to students and scholars who cannot read Irish, and will be a valuable resource not only for undergraduate students of the language, but for all those interested in Irish history and culture.

“The funniest book by Flann O’Brien. . . . Unhappiness is the comic goldmine from which he extracts The Poor Mouth’s raw material.” —The Millions Growing up in Western Ireland, Bonaparte O’Coonassa is introduced from birth to the never-ending poverty and suffering that constitute the Gaelic character. Downpours unfailingly happen each night. Potatoes are eaten for every meal. His grandfather, Old-Grey-Fellow, regales him with tales of the ill luck and evil that have befallen the Gaels (and always will). Such is life in Corkadoragha. From sharing a small, unkempt house with their pigs (one is too fat to fit through the door), to getting hit on the head for not speaking English on his first—and last—day of school, Bonaparte is constantly reminded of the bleak fate that awaits him as a Gael: “after great merriment comes sorrow and good weather never remains forever.” This hilarious parody of rural Irishness “shows a comic genius working close to his best capability. Humor of this quality, this intensity, is very rare; as witty in its language as in its invention” (Newsweek). “The Poor Mouth is wildly funny, but there is at the same time always a sense of black evil. Only O’Brien’s genius, of all the writers I can think of, was capable of that mixture of qualities.” —London Evening Standard “A fine book, hilarious, moving, gorgeously written.” —Harper’s Magazine “O’Brien was one of the comic geniuses of the 20th century. . . . The Poor Mouth is wildly funny.” —The Boston Globe
