Taylor & Francis The Irish Language in Ireland
Book SynopsisThis book comprises the first complete treatment of the Irish language in social context throughout the whole of Ireland, with a particular focus on contemporary society. The possibilities and limitations of the craft of language planning for the revival of the Irish language are outlined and the book also situates the language issue in the context of current debates on the geography, history and politics of the nature of Irish identity. A comprehensive multidisciplinary approach is adopted throughout.Trade Review'In about 250 pages, Diarmait Mac Giolla ChrÃost contributes enough material to keep not so much scholars as workers in the area of linguistic promotion inspired for years.' – The Linguist List'Indispensible reading for anyone concerned about language identity and language shift.' – Forum for Modern Language Studies'In about 250 pages, Diarmait Mac Giolla Chríost contributes enough material to keep not so much scholars as workers in the area of linguistic promotion inspired for years ... this study condenses immense efforts to direct discourse about the state and fate of Irish into a previously neglected intersection between academic and community-based efforts. The author applies research too often languishing upon government and academic shelves into a theory-laden but careful examination for a public forum.' - John L. Murphy, The Linguist List'Overall, The Irish Language in Ireland should be a standard reference work for some time to come. It succeeds in making the history and contemporary reality of Irish (and the theory and statistics relating to the language) accessible to all. There will be very many students, academics, amateurs and professionals who will be grateful for this book. It contributes a great deal to the study of Irish in Ireland in both the past and the present and, as such, it is highly recommended to anyone interested in the language, no matter their level of engagement.' - Criostoir Rowland, Irish Journal of Anthropology'Indispensible reading for anyone concerned about language identity and language shift.' – Forum for Modern Language Studies'This introductory overview of the debate on the complex interface between language and society will be of interest and use to the novice student of sociolinguistics and provides an up-to-date well referenced review of literature for the more seasoned researcher.'--Sociolinguistic StudiesTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Language Labour and Migration Studies in
Book SynopsisLanguage, Labour and Migration explores two fundamental aspects of the migrant experience through a multi-disciplinary lens which combines the research of leading academics at the cutting edge of their fields. This latest volume from the centre for the Study of Migration brings together the work of anthropologists, economists, geographers, historians, political scientists and medical practitioners. Essays explore topics which include the role of mother tongue as a bridge to assimilation, the racialization of immigrants and refugees through language, the patterns of resistance undertaken by lascars, the experience of black British seamen in the eighteenth century, health advocacy in the twentieth century and the way in which cyber-space is being used to rediscover ethnic identity in the twenty-first century. Other essays examine Chinese labour in France during the First world war, employment opportunities for those deficient in the majority language and poverty in old age. All providTrade Review’Can greater toleration and integration of immigrants in Britain arise if we open our society to the voices of others? This seems like a reasonable proposition. However, what if the majority receives these voices as noise, an unintelligible and alien sound? In these pages Anne Kershen allows the previously-muted sounds of Yiddish-speakers, Syletis, Welsh, Irish, Germans, Lascars and Black Jacks (African mariners) to be heard as voices, perhaps for the first time for many readers. This pioneering collection shows how mother tongues can sometimes act as a bridge to acceptance and mobility, but often end as a cul de sac where only the sounds of silence, isolation and reluctant conformity are heard.’ Robin Cohen, University of Warwick, UK ’This wide-ranging collection of essays views the vicissitudes of ethnicity and race in modern Britain through the twin prisms of labour and language. Lively, engaging and richly documented, they move the discussion of how minority groups respond to challenging circumstances to a new level of sophistication and complexity.’ Professor Todd Endelman, University of Michigan, USA 'Perhaps its strongest point is the way it illustrates the breadth of issues surrounding the use of language as a tool for communication. Another strength of the book is its ability to tie together cultural, economic and political themes. Overall it is an important book given today's political, economic and cultural climate. Migration is set to increase and it is vital for us to gain a better understanding of these issues. This book acts as an important first step in doing so. The variety of illustrative examples also make it a fascinating read.'
