Shortlisted for the 2020 ESSE Book Award in English Language and
Linguistics Orality in Written Texts provides a methodologically
and theoretically innovative study of change in Irish English in
the period 1700-1900. Focusing in on a time during which Ireland
became overwhelmingly English-speaking, the book traces the use of
various linguistic features of Irish English in different
historical contexts and over time. This book: draws on data from
the Corpus of Irish English Correspondence (CORIECOR), which is
composed of personal letters to and from Irish emigrants from the
start of the eighteenth century up until the end of the twentieth
century; analyses linguistic features that have hitherto remained
neglected in the literature on Irish English, including
discourse-pragmatic markers, and deictic and pronominal forms;
discusses how the survival of the pragmatic mode has resulted in
the preservation of certain facets of the Irish English variety as
known today; explores sociolinguistic issues from a historical
perspective. With direct relevance to corpus-based literary studies
as well as the exploration of hybrid, modern-day text forms,
Orality in Written Texts is key reading for advanced students and
researchers of corpus linguistics, varieties of English, language
change and historical linguistics, as well as anyone interested in
learning more about Irish history and migration.
This collection features different perspectives on how digital
tools are changing our understanding of language varieties,
language contact, sociolinguistics, pragmatics and dialectology
through the lens of different historical contexts. With a clear
focus on English, chapters in the volume showcase a broad range of
digital methods and approaches that can contribute to advancing the
study of historical linguistics. Visualisation tools and
corpus-linguistic techniques are part of the methodologies included
in the volume.The chapters present empirically based research, and
discuss theoretical aspects that emphasise how digitalisation is
changing our analysis of different domains of language, going from
phonology, to specific grammatical/morphosyntactic and lexical
features, to discourse-related issues more broadly. This book will
be of interest to scholars in the history of the English language,
historical linguistics, corpus linguistics, and digital humanities.

This book examines the intersection of culture and language in
Ireland and Irish contexts. The editors take an interdisciplinary
approach, exploring the ways in which culture, identity and
meaning-making are constructed and performed through a variety of
voices and discourses. This edited collection analyses the work of
well-known Irish authors such as Beckett, Joyce and G. B. Shaw,
combining new methodologies with more traditional approaches to the
study of literary discourse and style. Over the course of the
volume, the contributors also discuss how Irish voices are received
in translation, and how marginal voices are portrayed in the Irish
mediascape. This dynamic book brings together a multitude of
contrasting perspectives, and is sure to appeal to students and
scholars of Irish literature, migration studies, discourse
analysis, traductology and dialectology.
