The Celtic Languages 2nd Ed.

 

The Celtic Languages describes in depth all the Celtic languages from historical, structural and sociolinguistics perspectives with individual chapters on Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Breton and Cornish.

This new edition has been thoroughly revised to provide a comprehensive and up to date account of the modern Celtic languages and their current sociolinguistic status along with complete descriptions of the historical languages.

This comprehensive volume is arranged in four parts. The first part offers a description of the typological aspects of the Celtic languages followed by a scene setting historical account of the emergence of these languages. A chapter devoted to Continental Celtic, Old and Middle Irish and Old and Middle Welsh follows. Parts II and III are devoted to linguistic descriptions of the contemporary languages. Part II has chapters on Irish, Scots Gaelic and Manx, while Part III covers Welsh, Breton and Cornish. Part IV is devoted to the sociolinguistic situation of the four contemporary Celtic languages and a final chapter describes the status of the two revived languages Cornish and Manx.

With contributions from a variety of scholars of the highest reputation, The Celtic Languages continues to be an invaluable tool for both students and teachers of linguistics, especially those with an interest in typology, language universals and the unique sociolinguistic position which the Celtic languages occupy.
