Abstract:

Is modern-day spoken bilingualism any different from historical written
bilingualism? Do the same rules and theories apply? When medieval Irish
scribes used Latin and Irish in one sentence, what does this tell us about
their proficiency, their education, and their audience? In short, what can
medieval Irish bilingualism tell us about the society that fostered it?

These are the questions that this thesis attempts to answer through the
analyses of the bilingual commentary text that is found together with the
ninth-century Irish martyrology Félire Óengusso. It provides a diplomatic
edition of the bilingual glosses in manuscript Oxford, Bodleian Library,
Rawlinson B505 and discusses the potential function of the Commentary and its
origin. This is followed by a grammatical analysis of any code-switches into
Irish or Latin that occur according to Pieter Muysken’s typology of
code-switching. From this analysis, it becomes clear that code-switching
patterns seem to have been influenced by the typological distance between
Irish and Latin but also by chronological developments and societal norms
regarding language use. From an additional functional analysis, it appears
that code-switching in medieval Irish texts may be both a functional
communicative device and an unconscious expression of bilingual identity.
