Women, Language and Linguistics
Three American Stories from the First Half of the Twentieth Century

Julia S. Falk, Michigan State University

This book offers a much-needed reevaluation of twentieth century
American linguistics and focuses on the contributions of women to our
modern understanding of language.  This book relates an account of
linguistics as perceived and experienced by three American women in
the first half of the twentieth century: Alice Vanderbilt Morris,
Gladys Amanda Reichard, and E. Adelaide Hahn.

THE POLITICS OF LANGUAGE IN IRELAND 1366-1922
A Sourcebook

Edited by Tony Crowley, University of Manchester, UK

Crowley brings together, for the first time, Irish debates around
language from the date of the first legislation against the Irish, the
Statute of Kilkenny, 1366, to the constitution of the Free State in
1922.  The book is divided into six historical sections, including:
Spenser's View of the Present State of Ireland, Brooke's Reliques of
Irish Poetry, Hyde's The Necessity of De-Anglicising Ireland, Gaelic
League Pamphlets and essays and letters by Yeats and Synge.  Also
included are some less familiar materials: the Preface to the New
Testament in Irish (1602), Introductions to the first Irish-English
and English-Irish Dictionaries, MacCruitin's Vindication of the
Antiquity of Ireland, Vallencey's essay on the links between Irish and
the language of the North American Algonquin and the attitudes towards
Irish of Grattan, Flood, O'Connell and Pearse.
