This collection brings together work from scholars across
sociolinguistics, World Englishes and linguistic landscapes to
reflect on developments and future directions in Irish English,
building on the ground-breaking contributions of Jeffrey Kallen to
the discipline. Taking their cue from Kallen’s extensive body of
work on Irish English, the 20 contributors critically examine
advances in the field grounded in frameworks from variationist
sociolinguistics and semiotic and border studies in linguistic
landscapes. Chapters cover pragmatic, cognitive sociolinguistic,
sociophonetic, historical and World Englishes perspectives, as well
as two chapters which explore the border between Northern Ireland
and the Republic of Ireland through the lens of perceptual
dialectology and linguistic landscape research. Taken together, the
collection showcases the significant role Kallen has played in the
growth of Irish English studies as a field in its own right and the
impact of this work on a new wave of researchers in the field today
and beyond. This volume will be of particular interest to scholars
of varieties of English, variationist sociolinguistics and
linguistic landscape research.

This volume examines in-depth the many facets of language and
identity in the complex linguistic landscape of Ireland. The role
of the heritage language Irish is scrutinized as are the manifold
varieties of English spoken in regions of the island determined by
both geography and social contexts. Language as a vehicle of
national and cultural identity is center-stage as is the
representation of identity in various media types and text genres.
In addition, the volume examines the self-image of the Irish as
reflected in various self-portrayals and references, e.g. in
humorous texts. Identity as an aspect of both public and private
life in contemporary Ireland, and its role in the gender interface,
is examined closely in several chapters. This collection is aimed
at both scholars and students interested in langage and identity in
the milti-layered situation of Ireland, both historically and at
present. By addressing general issues surrounding the dynamic and
vibrant research area of identity it reaches out to readers beyond
Ireland who are concerned with the pivotal role this factor plays
in present-day societies.
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.
This book is a general introduction to the English spoken in
Ireland, its most characteristic features, and its historical
development. It provides a practical introduction to the topic of
Irish English (also known as Hiberno-English), the variety of
English that arose in Ireland as a consequence of contact between
the Irish and the English languages. As well as looking at the
specific examples where substratum from Irish can be observed, the
book analyses other features unique to Irish English, from
different perspectives (taking into account, for example, the
pragmatic implications of certain syntactic structures in current
spoken Irish English). It offers the reader a comprehensive
coverage of the history and most salient features of this variety
of English, while discussing key concepts such as bilingualism and
language shift. The material is presented in a simple and
accessible manner. It encourages the reader to discuss and think
critically about some of the topics and to use the last section of
each chapter as a basis for further investigation. "An Introduction
to Irish English" contains exercises and practical activities with
each chapter, as well as suggestions for further reading. It deals
with both real data and fictional representations of this variety
and it includes excerpts from Literature, media and film scripts,
as well as other contexts, including everyday conversation,
political debates, newspapers, e-mail, blogs, etc.
