Dictionary of the Irish Language: Based Mainly on Old and Middle Irish Materials: Compact Edition
ISBN: 9780901714299 / Angielski / Twarda / 632 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. First projected by the Irish Archaeological Society in 1852, work on the Dictionary of the Irish Language was initiated by the foremost Irish scholars of the time, John O'Donovan and Eugene O'Curry. Unfortunately, both were dead by 1862, but before his death O'Donovan had outlined how the dictionary should be based on a thorough excerpting of older Irish manuscripts. The meanings of words were to be supported by citations. Etymology was not to be attempted apart from derivation within Irish itself and the giving of sources of loan words. These directions have been adhered to in the work as...

The Illustrated Gaelic-English Dictionary
ISBN: 9781907165023 / Angielski / Twarda / 1084 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The first edition of this classic dictionary was published more than a hundred years ago in 1901 and it has been the "Great Gaelic Dictionary" ever since. Instead of a lithographic reproduction this edition is newly typeset. This has allowed us to increase the font size slightly and, as a result, the text is much clearer than ever before. Small things were adjusted: typos, errors in the alphabetic ordering and the orthography has been tweaked a wee bit regarding some inconsistencies. The illustrations were digitally cleaned and they too are now much clearer, especially the numbering...

Dorian gathers findings from decades of documenting an endangered Scottish Gaelic dialect, presenting detailed evidence of contraction and loss but also recording a positive role for imperfect speakers. Retention of language skills undervalued by linguists but positively viewed by the community has supported the survival of local Gaelic-English bilingualism well beyond early predictions. Nonetheless, potent factors that threaten small-language survival everywhere have also operated here. Negative social attitudes towards the minority...
