A new website has been installed at the University of Duisburg and 
Essen in Germany which is dedicated to variation and change in the 
pronunciation of present-day Dublin English. The site is arranged as a 
tree with branches which correspond to various aspects of this topic. 
There are comprehensive sections on the history of Irish English, and 
of Dublin English in particular, along with discussions of features on 
various linguistic levels and the sociolinguistics of present-day Dublin 
English. 

In addition the website deals with the theoretical implications of current 
change in Dublin English for  sociolinguistic research in general. 
Sample sound files for a range of varieties in Dublin are available on 
the website so that users can immediately grasp the issues which are 
being discussed in any given module. Detailed bibliographical 
references are contained in each section so that interested scholars 
and students can further pursue matters further. Glossaries, overviews 
of external history and biographical notes are also included, providing 
easy orientation for those who have not previously concerned 
themselves with Dublin English.

The website can be accessed at the following address:

This website has been designed and is maintained by Raymond 
Hickey. All the texts, graphs, tables, sound files, etc. are his own and 
are put in the public domain under the assumption that if they are used 
by scholars and students, then appropriate acknowledgement will be 
made.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
