Abstract:

This volume examines in-depth the many facets of language and identity in the
complex linguistic landscape of Ireland. The role of the heritage language
Irish is scrutinized as are the manifold varieties of English spoken in
regions of the island determined by both geography and social contexts.
Language as a vehicle of national and cultural identity is center-stage as is
the representation of identity in various media types and text genres. In
addition, the volume examines the self-image of the Irish as reflected in
various self-portrayals and references, e.g. in humorous texts. Identity as an
aspect of both public and private life in contemporary Ireland, and its role
in the gender interface, is examined closely in several chapters. This
collection is aimed at both scholars and students interested in langage and
identity in the milti-layered situation of Ireland, both historically and at
present. By addressing general issues surrounding the dynamic and vibrant
research area of identity it reaches out to readers beyond Ireland who are
concerned with the pivotal role this factor plays in present-day societies.
