The Irish Language (Rle Linguistics E: Indo-European Linguistics): An Annotated Bibliography of Sociolinguistic Publications 1772-1982

Routledge Library Editions: Linguistics

by John R. Edwards

In compiling this bibliography, the main purpose was to assemble references to published material of a sociolinguistic nature concerning the Irish language. The intent was not to cover publications treating language per se, but rather to consider those dealing with language in its social context. Represented here are articles, chapters, books and pamphlets bearing upon social, historical, psychological and educational aspects of Irish - including the decline of the language, the restoration effort, the relationship of language to nationality and religion, and studies of important figures in the language movement.
