Politics.ie, the Irish politics forum, has a very good thread on archaic
words in Ireland<http://www.politics.ie/forum/culture-community/123046-archaic-phrases-92.html>,
in effect the change in Hiberno-English and other dialects in Ireland.

Do be warned there are a lot of offensive posts on it too though :-(

Hi Mike,

Robinson's version, which you rightly note is now available in second
edition, was self-defined as a *descriptive* grammar.

If you look at this:
http://www.sil.org/linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAReferenceGrammar.htm

Robinson's is intended (from his own introduction) to fall into the
right-hand column (whether it does or doesn't is, I guess, for the reader
ultimately to assess). This one, however, is intended for the left-hand
column!

Regards,
Ian P.
