This inter-disciplinary book is the first in an Irish context to
address issues connected with the 'super-diversifying' of language
and society engendered by recent and historical migrations. It
analyses novel data from interviews with allochthonous and
autochthonous groups of monolingual and plurilingual youngsters
living in Northern Ireland. A key aim is to test models within
second language acquisition and language variation and change
research. Another goal is to examine the extent to which
distinctive migratory trends generated changes in the language
ecologies of communities on the island of Ireland as well as
globally in regions where the Irish settled intensively from the
1700s. The book also compares contemporary migratory experiences
with historical records to further our understanding of the
dynamics of identification through language across time. The
first-ever book devoted to all aspects of the sociolinguistics of
globalization and migration in Northern Ireland will be welcomed by
scholars interested in the consequences for ethnolinguistic
vitality of large-scale population movements. It could not be more
timely given the fact that 2.5 million sought asylum in Europe
alone during 2016, greatly enhancing its diversity.
