Opis

The book offers an easy-to-grasp overview of forms of modern Irish within a general linguistic framework. Based on recordings of more than 200 speakers (accessible as supplementary material online), the book demonstrates the vitality and breadth of the present-day language. Maps and tables allow easy orientation among the varieties of modern Irish.

Recenzje

"The book is a truly outstanding contribution. [...] We have a work of the highest quality in front of us. It should be of interest not only to Celticists and phonologists, but also to other linguists who are investigating variation in endangered languages."
Andrew Carnie in: Linguist List 23.1465
