Starting with information on the sociolinguistics of modern Irish and on the overall sound system of the language, it then proceeds with a tripartite division of the present-day language into northern, western and southern Irish. It gives specific information on the features of each dialect and considers many sub-divisions, using maps and tables to illustrate clearly what is the subject of discussion. There are several innovations in the book, such as a system of lexical sets which facilitate the description and analysis of variation and change in modern Irish. The data for the book stems from recordings of more than 200 speakers and all the statements made about the structure of Irish are based on native speakers' speech samples. These are supplied online with a software interface which allows users to quickly orient themselves among the varieties of Irish via clickable maps. A number of further issues are focused on in the book, such as the possibility of dialect reconstruction and the use of place-name evidence for determining the earlier distribution of Irish. Additional historical and background information is provided so that scholars and students without any previous knowledge of the language can readily grasp the themes and issues discussed. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v230. 606 $aIrish language$xDialects 606 $aIrish language$xProvincialisms 606 $aIrish language$xDiscourse analysis 610 $aDialectology. 610 $aIrish. 610 $aPhonology. 615 0$aIrish language$xDialects. 615 0$aIrish language$xProvincialisms. 615 0$aIrish language$xDiscourse analysis. 676 $a491.6/27 700 $aHickey$b Raymond$f1954-$0176031 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789723603321 996 $aThe dialects of Irish$93856084 997 $aUNINA
