Abstract

This grammar is based on extensive fieldwork, published and unpublished lore, and recent as well as older recordings, particularly those held in the archives of Roinn Bhéaloideas Éireann and Raidió na Gaeltachta. These sources provide a picture of extensive variation and change across the six generations born between 1850 and 2000. The grammar draws on several branches of linguistics: descriptive and historical linguistics, dialectology and sociolinguistics. It is the most comprehensive treatment of any variety of Irish.
Volume I provides an introduction and chapters on historical phonology, sandhi and nominal morphology.
Volume II describes plural noun morphology, the verb and pronominals.
Volume III contains chapters on prepositions, functors, initial mutations, higher register, borrowings and language contact, and onomastics.
Volume IV presents transcriptions and a CD containing recordings of a slection of speakers across the generations. The final volume also contains a vocabulary, bibliography and four indexes.
