Subject: A Call for Hiberno-English Speakers


Hi to everyone,

I'm a Ph.D. student currently working on negative concord in Hiberno-English,
African-American English and Catalan. While reading about the topic, I came
across the following Hiberno-English construction:

... <Portions of message deleted by moderator >

I would also need some help in obtaining grammatical judgements
FROM SPEAKERS OF HIBERNO-ENGLISH (also known as Anglo-Irish and Irish English)
on the following sentence:

(2) Any person said that sex is no sin.

The relevant questions are: Is it grammatical to Hiberno-English speakers?

If the answer is yes, then, is the meaning equivalent to "Nobody said that sex
is a sin"?

Thank you very much in advance. I will really appreciate your help!
