Abstract:

Please Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced text. 

English has been spoken in Ireland for over 800 years, making Irish English 
the oldest variety of the language outside Britain. This book traces the 
development of English in Ireland, both north and south, from the late Middle 
Ages to the present day. Drawing on authentic data ranging from medieval 
literature to authentic contemporary examples, it reveals how Irish English 
arose, how it has developed, and how it continues to change. A variety of 
central issues are considered in detail, such as the nature of language 
contact and the shift from Irish to English, the sociolinguistically motivated 
changes in present-day Dublin English, the special features of Ulster Scots, 
and the transportation of Irish English to overseas locations as diverse as 
Canada, the United States, and Australia. Presenting a comprehensive 
survey of Irish English at all levels of linguistics, this book will be invaluable 
to historical linguists, sociolinguists, syntacticians and phonologists alike. 

Raymond Hickey's Irish English is a work of impressive scholarship, very 
well documented and thoroughly researched. Together with the same author's 
invaluable Source Book for Irish English (Hickey, 2
