This book brings together in one convenient volume eight articles by Professor Nicholas Williams on the Cornish Revival. They range from his "A Problem in Cornish Phonology" (1990) in which he shows that the "phonemes" /dj/ and /tj/ of Kernowek Kemyn were unwarranted, to his review "'A Modern and Scholarly Cornish-English Dictionary': a Review of Ken George's Gerlyver Kernewek Kemmyn" of 2001 in which he demonstrates how at least 370 entries in George's dictionary are mistaken. "Writings on Revived Cornish" concludes with a short note on George's incon-sis-tent lexicographical practice with...

"Towards Authentic Cornish" is in the first place a rebuttal of the defence of Kernowek Kemyn attempted by Paul Dunbar and Ken George in "Kernewek Kemmyn: Cornish for the Twenty-First Century."

The latter portions of the book offer a detailed critique of George's "Gerlyver Kernewek Kemmyn" and of Wella Brown's "Grammar of Modern Cornish." As companion volumes to "Towards Authentic Cornish," two further works by Professor Williams have been...
