Index of Names and Subjects 359 PREFACE This bookis based on my
1991 USCdissertation. Since thattime, there have been two major
theoretical developments that bear directly on the
analysesoriginallydevelopedin the dissertation. These
aretheinceptionof the 'Minimalist Program' of Chomsky (1992, 1993),
and the recent 'Antisymmetry' proposals presented in Kayne (1993).
Taken in conjunction with the many criticisms and suggestions
ofreviewers, these proposals have prompted significant revisions
ofthe earlier work: . Every chapter has been substantially revised,
the introductory chapter has been replaced, and Chapters 2, 3 and 5
offer completely new analyses of the originalmaterial. The book
comprises a set of theoretical studies of aspects of Modern Irish
syntax. I have tried to present a coherent and consistent
treatmentof the Irishfacts; abookin which the particularsofIrish
syntax- which are in many cases quiteeccentric from an
Englishperspective- are shown to inform more general
theoreticalissues. I also hope to have offered to the non-Celticist
a reasonably complete overview of the major syntactic structures
ofIrish, with some indication and analysisofthe more
importantdialectdifferences.
