A corpus-based lexico-grammatical analysis of the Limerick corpus of Irish English (L-CIE) : some nominal and verbal features
(2005)
Forde, Kieran
Abstract:
This study proposes to use a corpus-based approach to identify and evaluate some of the discrete features of spoken Southern Irish English. The features to be analysed were chosen on the basis that they were identified in the secondary literature, predominantly Harris (1993) and Filppula (1999) and are considered by those working in the field to be representative of the forms that make SIE a distinct variety of English. The study is corpus-based. This allows the researcher to use actual incidences of speech from contemporary speakers of Southern Irish English, thus allowing for an empirical approach to the research whereby physical evidence rather than intuition is the basis for the findings. The corpus to be used, The Limerick Corpus of Irish English, containing one million words of transcribed contemporary Southern Irish English casual conversation, is sufficiently large to verify the contemporary usage of most of the patterns of Southern Irish English. The study is limited to cer...

A phonetic comparison of two Irish English varieties

A phonetic comparison of two Irish English varieties
(2020)
Nicora, Francesca; Cenceschi, Sonia; Meluzzi, Chiara
Abstract:
This research offers a preliminary survey on vowels and diphthong variation between two Irish English varieties: Galway (GW) and Letterkenny (LK). The results showed only a smaller difference between GW and LK with respect to the monophthongs, whereas a larger difference was found for the MOUTH diphthong. Despite the great amount of literature on English dialects, a phonetic investigation of these specific varieties is still lacking. This study may open the path to further investigations of sociophonetic values and the stereotypes associated with different varieties, in particular those of the northern regions.

Arrah, like, you know: The dynamics of discourse marking in ICE-Ireland.
(2006)
KALLEN, JEFFREY LEO
Abstract:
For over 400 years, dramatists, novelists, and other writers seeking to depict Irish characters have relied in part on words and phrases taken to be indexical of Irishness when representing the conversational functions now associated with the term 'discourse marker'. In keeping with the general trend in the lexical development of Irish English, many of the terms which are commonly cited are etymologically derived from Irish and carry over similar discourse functions.

Continuity and change in variety choice in radio advertising in Ireland (1977 to 2007): a language ideological analysis
(2014)
O'Sullivan, Joan
Abstract:
This research examines language ideological change in the Irish context through a longitudinal analysis of variety choice in radio advertising in Ireland from 1977 to 2007. The study extends the growing body of research on variation and change in Irish English to examine this variety as it operates within the context of the genre of radio advertising. A corpus of radio ads from the years 1977, 1987, 1997 and 2007 is analysed using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Bakhtin’s (1981) concept of heteroglossia is applied to accent and dialect as well as genre as they relate to the ads. The analysis is based on Sussex’s (1989) ad components of Action and Comment which relate to the genre of the discourse. The corpus is analysed firstly at the inter-varietal level in relation to the range of varieties in the corpus, predominantly Irish English and Standard Southern British English (SSBE). Based on the decline of SSBE in the 1997 and 2007 sub-corpora, the second part of the analysi...

Female voices in the context of Irish emigration: A linguistic analysis of gender differences in private correspondence

Female voices in the context of Irish emigration: A linguistic analysis of gender differences in private correspondence
(2016)
Amador-Moreno, Carolina P.
Abstract:
The past few decades have witnessed an increasing interest in private correspondence as a source of information for linguistic analysis. Letter collections represent an invaluable source of evidence at a historical and sociological level and, it has been argued, they are also unique sources for the documentation of language development. Recent research has shown how this type of written data can help in analyzing the correlation between social status/gender and language change. Other uses of personal letters have served to document the presence and development of specific syntactic structures. Within the realm of this genre, the value of emigrant letters is enormous, given that they reflect language features that were transported away from the environments in which they initially emerged. This paper takes a bottom-up approach to the analysis of the language of Irish emigrants and concentrates specifically on gender differences in the use of certain linguistic devices. By applying th...

Introduction: Pragmatic Markers in Irish English
(2015)
Amador-Moreno, Carolina P.; McCafferty, Kevin; Vaughan, Elaine
Abstract:
Pragmatic markers in Irish English offers 18 studies from the perspective of variational pragmatics by established and younger scholars with an interest in the English of Ireland. Taking a broad definition of pragmatic markers (PMs) as items operating outside the structural limits of the clause that encode speakers intentions and interpersonal meanings, this volume includes discussions of traditional PMs like sure that are strongly associated with Irish English, recent globally spreading innovations like quotative like, and studies of tag questions, vocatives and emoticons. The data sets used cover most of the existing and developing corpora of Irish English as well as historical legal depositions, films, advertising and recent fiction, interviews, recorded conversations, and blogs. The authors address general issues such as what corpora of Irish English might add to the description of PMs in general, the interaction of Irish and Irish English, historical and contemporary uses of s...

Irish English and Recent Immigrants to Ireland

Irish English and Recent Immigrants to Ireland
(2014)
Migge, Bettina
Abstract:
When Ireland became a country of net immigration in the 1990s, the varieties of English spoken on the island came to function as targets of language learning and were subjected to critical evaluation by people from a wide range of backgrounds. This paper explores newcomers’ views on and attitudes towards Irish English based on interviews with 73 immigrants from a variety of national and social backgrounds. The analysis suggests that there is broad agreement about the nature of Irish English, but attitudes towards it and desire to identify with it are heterogeneous being influenced by a range of factors including people’s alignment with Ireland, their views about variation and Irish reactions to its use.

It's gems like this that make me wish I hadn't left Ireland: humorous representations of Irish English and their role in diasporic identities

Vaughan, Elaine; Moriarty, Máiréad
Abstract:
The full text of this book chapter will not be available in ULIR until the embargo expires on the 20/01/2021
In this chapter, we discuss the role of humorous texts in bringing to our attention aspects of perceived identities that have resonance at local, regional and national levels in Ireland, and beyond. In doing so, we assert the rich potential of these texts to bring into the foreground evidence of the sorts of sociocultural understandings required for humour to operate, and emphasise the potential of performative data to enhance our awareness of language practices around ideologies and identities (Moriarty 2011: 550). Humour is a complex phenomenon in social life more generally, and a pragmatically powerful and polyvalent resource in interaction more specifically (Vaughan and Clancy 2011). We present and analyse extracts from a series of animated cartoons, Martin’s Life, and build on our previous research which focuses on representations of voices within the Irish (English)...

It's in the details the divil is: Corpus linguistics and Irish English literary dialect
(2014)
Connell, Meaghan
Abstract:
Scholars of literary dialect have often found themselves defending the focus of their study against allegations of exaggeration and stereotyping, particularly in areas like Ireland, where a legacy of colonialism and of derogatory representations of those who speak the non-fictional dialect in question have led to linguistic insecurity and sensitivity towards fictional dialect representations. As a result, literary dialect studies have traditionally focused on accuracy-based comparisons between literary and non-fictional linguistic varieties. Recently, some scholars have begun to grant literary dialect more attention, often employing quantitative linguistic methodologies in order to perform more scientific analyses of literary dialect. This dissertation aims to look beyond the question of authenticity in an investigation of Irish English literary dialect of the twentieth-century Abbey Theatre catalogue. This study treats the literary dialect involved as a discrete linguistic variety,...

Language Change and Ideology in Irish Radio Advertising

Language Change and Ideology in Irish Radio Advertising
(2016)
O'Sullivan, Joan
Abstract:
This paper examines language ideological change in the Irish context through a longitudinal analysis of accent choice in a corpus of radio ads from 1977, 1987, 1997 and 2007. The analysis is based on Sussex’s (1989) ad components of Action and Comment. The Action component is generally comprised of contextual dialogic interaction and associated with discourses of ‘everyday informal interaction’ while the Comment component, often associated with the slogan of the ad, tends to be monologic and decontextualised and is associated with discourses of ‘power and authority’ (Lee, 1992). The use of standard British English accent features, particularly in the Comment components in the ads, is pervasive in the 1977 and 1987 sub-corpora but declines in both ad components in 1997 and 2007 and is replaced by the use of the relatively new Irish English Advanced Dublin English accent. These findings are analysed in terms of how they reflect the changing ‘ideological temperature’ (Vestergaard and S...

Nasalance scores for typical Irish English-speaking adults
(2012)
Lee, Alice S.; Browne, Una
Abstract:
The aim was to establish normative nasalance values for Irish English-speaking adults. Thirty men and 30 women with normal resonance read aloud 16 sentences from the Irish nasality assessment protocol, the Zoo passage, and the Rainbow passage. The speech samples were recorded using the Nasometer II 6400. Results of a mixed between–within subjects ANOVA indicated no significant gender effect on nasalance scores. The speakers showed significantly higher nasalance scores for high-pressure consonant sentences than low-pressure consonant sentences, and for the Rainbow passage than total test sentences. There was no significant difference between high-pressure consonant sentences and the Zoo passage. Compared to previous studies, the Irish young adults had lower nasalance scores than Irish children and than young adults with North American dialects.

Preface

Migge, Bettina; Ní Chiosáin, Máire
Abstract:
The articles in this volume primarily represent a selection of papers that were presented at the Conference New Perspectives on Irish English which was held in March 2010 at University College Dublin. The aim o f the conference, and now the volume, was to assess the directions of research on varieties of English spoken on the island of Ireland since the publication of Focus on Ireland which was edited by Jeffrey Kallen in 1997, and highlight how that research has developed in the last fifteen years. Comparing the articles in this volume to those published in Focus on Irish English two broad differences emerge that are worth highlighting: the topics of investigation and the data and analytical approaches.

Religious references in contemporary Irish English: 'For the love of God almighty .... I'm a holy terror for turf'

Religious references in contemporary Irish English: 'For the love of God almighty .... I'm a holy terror for turf'
(2009)
Farr, Fiona; Murphy, Brona
Abstract:
This article examines the nature and use of religious references across a range of contexts, and also age and gender groups to establish their patterning and functioning in contemporary English, with particular reference to Irish English. The examination is carried out by using quantitative and qualitative corpus-based tools and methodologies, such as relative frequency lists and concordances, as well as details of formulaic strings, including significant clusters. The paper highlights that religious references are high frequency items in informal spoken discourse and that they are predominantly used in non-religious contexts. In terms of age, their use seems to be characteristic of the discourse of the older speakers, while a gender-based analysis underlines their elevated use by male speakers. The analyses conclude that religious references are so commonplace in Irish English that their use, as a means of emotional expression, now seems almost ubiquitously acceptable among the rep...

Sociolinguistic information and Irish English corpora

Sociolinguistic information and Irish English corpora
(2016)
Vaughan, Elaine; Clancy, Brian
Abstract:
The central part of this chapter presents the sort of sociolinguistic information that is retrievable from some corpora of Irish English (IE) that currently exist. However, in order to fully explore and contextualise the research possibilities that corpora of IE offer the sociolinguist, we probe the relationship emergent, developing or with the potential to develop between the core concerns of sociolinguistic research and contemporary corpus linguistics. Hence, the nature of language corpora and the fundamental aspects of the sort of analytical tools commonly used to mine them become relevant. An emergent consensus in most recent work on corpus linguistics and sociolinguistics (e.g. Friginal and Hardy 2014) is to take the view that as a methodogical approach, corpus linguistics has much to offer sociolinguistics (and vice versa, though this is not as frequently discussed, see Kendall 2011). For the purpose of the present chapter, corpus linguistics is understood to be both an in...

Speaking rate and articulation rate of native speakers of Irish English
(2017)
Doherty, Rachel; Lee, Alice S.
Abstract:
Previous studies have shown apparent difference in speaking rate and/or articulation rate between different dialects of English. In addition, native speakers of Irish English are perceived to be speaking very fast; however, there is very little information in the current literature regarding speech rate of speakers of this variety of English. Establishing regional norms might be needed for various reasons, such as speech intervention, if speakers of Irish English do have a higher speaking and articulation rates than individuals who speaks other English dialects. This study measured the speaking rate and articulation rate of 22 men and 22 women who were native speakers of Irish English. The study compared the speech rates between the male and female speakers, and across different speech tasks â first and second reading the Rainbow Passage and spontaneous speech elicited in a conversation. Overall, the male speakers seemed to speak faster than the females, although significant diffe...

Voicing the 'knacker' : analysing the comedy of the Rubberbandits.
(2018)
Vaughan, Elaine; Moriarty, Máiréad
Abstract:
The full text of this book chapter will not be available in ULIR until the embargo expires on the 18/03/2021
This chapter discusses mediated representations of voice in the performances of the Rubberbandits, a comedy duo from Limerick in Ireland. Limerick is a city with a national reputation for social disadvantage and criminal gangs, and the Rubberbandits' particular brand of satirical and musical comedy is based on the inner-city urban identity of Limerick. They appropriate and localise rap and hip hop genres to the context of Limerick city in their original music, and a strong element of the absurd runs through their other comedy performances. A kind of sociocultural heteroglossia surrounds their performances: the real-life voices of the Rubberbandits are radically different to the alter-egos they inhabit as part of their performance. However, although their actual identities are known, the Rubberbandits always appear incognito, with plastic bags covering their faces, a...
