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.
