The Celtic Languages describes in depth all the Celtic languages
from historical, structural and sociolinguistic perspectives with
individual chapters on Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Breton
and Cornish. This second edition has been thoroughly revised to
provide a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the modern Celtic
languages and their current sociolinguistic status along with
complete descriptions of the historical languages. This
comprehensive volume is arranged in four parts. The first part
offers a description of the typological aspects of the Celtic
languages followed by a scene setting historical account of the
emergence of these languages. Chapters devoted to Continental
Celtic, Old and Middle Irish, and Old and Middle Welsh follow.
Parts two and three are devoted to linguistic descriptions of the
contemporary languages. Part two has chapters on Irish, Scots
Gaelic and Manx, while Part three covers Welsh, Breton and Cornish.
Part four is devoted to the sociolinguistic situation of the four
contemporary Celtic languages and a final chapter describes the
status of the two revived languages Cornish and Manx. With
contributions from a variety of scholars of the highest reputation,
The Celtic Languages continues to be an invaluable tool for both
students and teachers of linguistics, especially those with an
interest in typology, language universals and the unique
sociolinguistic position which the Celtic languages occupy. Dr
