Abstract:

Bringing together a range of perspectives on the Gaelic language, this book 
covers the history of the language, its development in Scotland and Canada, 
its spelling, syntax and morphology, its modern vocabulary, and the study of 
its dialects. It also addresses sociolinguistic issues such as identity, 
perception, language planning and the appearance of the language in 
literature. Each chapter is written by an expert on their topic.

Written accessibly with a non-specialist audience in mind, it will have a 
particular value for those requiring an introduction to aspects of the Gaelic 
language. It will also be of great interest to those who are embarking on 
research on Gaelic for the first time.
