'The god of our small world': Art O'Brien and Irish nationalism in London, 1900-1925
(2018)
Mac Diarmada, Mary
Abstract:
This thesis uses the life of Art O’Brien (1872-1949) as a central axis on which to construct an analysis of Irish nationalism in London from 1900 to 1925. Born and reared in London, O’Brien became a leading member of the Gaelic League, Sinn Féin, the Irish Volunteers, the Irish Republican Brotherhood and the Irish Self-Determination League of Great Britain. His career as an electrical engineer placed him at the centre of the London business milieu and he was a key mobiliser of the Irish community. Appointed London envoy of Dáil Éireann in 1919, he was a close confidant of Michael Collins throughout the War of Independence. He was also a mediator in various peace initiatives during 1920 and 1921 and introduced de Valera to Lloyd George at their first meeting in July 1921. Following O’Brien’s rejection of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, he became embroiled in various financial disputes and suffered a spectacular fall from grace. He has been a neglected figure in the historiography of the I...

‘New speakers’ of Irish in the United States: practices and motivations
(2017)
Walsh, John; Ní Dhúda, Laoise
Abstract:
This paper examines the experiences and motivations of 'new speakers' of Irish in the United States. 'New speakers' of Irish refer to those whose first language is not Irish but who use the language regularly and fluently. Based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out among Irish speakers in five locations across the United States, the paper begins by describing the language backgrounds of participants. It goes on to analyse their use of Irish and their motivations for learning it and considers the links between practice and ideology. Although Irish heritage and culture are often strong motivating factors for Americans to learn Irish, not all learners are Irish American and only some advance to a level of competence high enough to adopt Irish as family or home language and/or attempt to influence the language ideologies of others. High and active competence is linked to deep personal dedication and is achieved despite significant obstacles facing those who wish to ...

A best-practice model for term planning
(2011)
Bhreathnach, Úna
Abstract:
This thesis presents a best-practice model for term planning for a language, based on the literature and on three qualitative case studies: TERMCAT (the term planning organisation for Catalan), Terminologicentrum TNC (the term planning organisation for Swedish) and the Irish-language term planning organisations, principally the Terminology Committee (Foras na Gaeilge) and Fiontar, DCU. Although the literature on the subject is underdeveloped, and a complete model cannot be derived from it, a basic structure for term planning is constructed, consisting of eight stages: preparation/planning, research, standardisation, dissemination, implantation, evaluation, modernisation/maintenance and training. This structure forms the basis of the case study research. A new, comprehensive model for term planning is then developed and described, combining elements from each of the three cases and from the literature. The model developed is not limited to any one particular situation of term plannin...

A crowd-sourcing approach for translations of minority language user-generated content (UGC)
(2017)
Dowling, Meghan; Lynn, Teresa; Way, Andy
Abstract:
Data sparsity is a common problem for machine translation of minority and less-resourced languages. While data collection for standard, grammatical text can be challenging enough, efforts for collection of parallel user-generated content can be even more challenging. In this paper we describe an approach to collecting English↔Irish translations of user-generated content (tweets) that overcomes some of these hurdles. We show how a crowd-sourced data collection campaign, which was tailored to our target audience (the Irish language community), proved successful in gathering data for a niche domain. We also discuss the reliability of crowd-sourcing English↔Irish tweet translations in terms of quality by reporting on a self-rating approach along with qualified reviewer ratings.

A quantitative analysis of biographical data from Ainm, the Irish-language Biographical Database
(2019)
Bhreathnach, Úna; Burke, Cathal; Mag Fhinn, Jeaic; Ó Cleircín, Gearóid; Ó Raghallaigh, Brian
Abstract:
This paper looks at some trends identifiable in the biographical data contained in the Ainm collection of Irish-language related biographies. The data structure is described and the reasons for its particular structure are outlined. The structured data is then analysed to identify some notable patterns and significant gaps in the Ainm biographical collection. These features and omissions are discussed in the context of the creation of both the original print biographical dictionary (the Beathaisnéis series) and the more recent digital version (www.ainm.ie).

A user-oriented study of metadata in focal.ie
(2014)
de Barra-Cusack, Fionnuala
Abstract:
Subject-field classification systems are implemented in every major termbank to facilitate the internal management of terminographic work, and this study begins with an account of how the DANTERM subject-field classification system was selected to meet such needs in the bilingual Irish-English termbank focal.ie. Little is known, however, about how subject-field labels and other metadata are actually used by users of termbanks. The current study thus also sets out to investigate users’ beliefs and opinions about how the presentation of metadata, and especially subject-field labels, affects user behaviour and success in the context of English-Irish translation, including use of the bilingual Irish-English termbank focal.ie. Users’ opinions and beliefs are investigated in a series of five focus groups involving nineteen users of focal.ie. Actual use of the termbank is subsequently observed in a contextual inquiry, involving observation of and interviews with nine professional translato...

Active learning and the Irish treebank
(2012)
Lynn, Teresa; Foster, Jennifer; Uí Dhonnchadha, Elaine; Dras, Mark
Abstract:
We report on our ongoing work in developing the Irish Dependency Treebank, describe the results of two Inter annotator Agreement (IAA) studies, demonstrate improvements in annotation consistency which have a knock-on effect on parsing accuracy, and present the final set of dependency labels. We then go on to investigate the extent to which active learning can play a role in treebank and parser development by comparing an active learning bootstrapping approach to a passive approach in which sentences are chosen at random for manual revision. We show that active learning outperforms passive learning, but when annotation effort is taken into account, it is not clear how much of an advantage the active learning approach has. Finally, we present results which suggest that adding automatic parses to the training data along with manually revised parses in an active learning setup does not greatly affect parsing accuracy.

An analyser and generator for Irish inflectional morphology using finite-state transducers
(2002)
Uí Dhonnchadha, Elaine
Abstract:
Computational morphology is an important step in natural language processing. Finite-state techniques have been applied successfully in computational phonology and morphology to many of the world’s major languages. Celtic languages, such as Modern Irish, present unique and challenging morphological features that to date have not been addressed using finite-state technology. This thesis presents a finite-state morphology of Irish developed using Xerox Finite-State Tools. To the best of our knowledge, such a resource does not exist. The computational model, implemented as a finite-state transducer, encodes the inflectional morphology of nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Other parts of speech are also included in the interests of language coverage. The implementation is a strictly lexicalised design: the morphotactics of stems and affixes are encoded in the lexicon using replace rule triggers. Word mutations are then implemented as a series of replace rules written as regular expressions....

An investigation into the effectiveness of using child created video in the learning and retention of the Irish language in an Irish primary school
(2012)
Cahill, Cormac
Abstract:
This thesis looks at the use of child created video as an aid in the learning and retention of the Irish language in an Irish Primary School. It also investigated the effect of using these child created videos on the motivation of children to learn the Irish language. The methodology used in this research utilised a Task Based Language Learning and Teaching model. The study found that the use of child created video was beneficial to children enabling them to develop greater skills in automaticity, fluency and language output in the target language. The study also found that the actual creation of the videos by the children led to greater retention of the language in comparison with vocabulary learned using traditional methods. The new methodology also led to increased levels of motivation to learn the Irish language amongst the children. Many reported they were more positive about learning the language after the introduction of the new methodology. The attitudes and beliefs of child...

Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis of primary schoolchildren's attitudes to the Irish language, Gaeilge, in the context of national policy in the Republic of Ireland. In particular, the study examines the factors (social, cultural, cognitive and organisational) that may be related to a pronounced excess in disengagement with Irish over and above general engagement with schooling. The data derives from the nine-year-old child cohort of the national longitudinal study of children, the Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) survey. Unlike previous findings in relation to general engagement with school, excess disengagement with Irish is not found to be related to socio-economic or ethnic factors, factors related to teacher profile, training, self-efficacy or style or school ethos. As expected, children with less exposure to spoken Irish in school or at home are more likely to show excess disengagement with the language. Literacy activity, special education needs and school patronage are also fo...

An t-ár agus an t-ocras: a Clare scribe's response to the Great Famine

Abstract:
MÍCHEÁL Ó RAGHALLAIGH, alias Michael O’Reilly, has come to be associated with Ennistymon in the northwest barony of Corcomroe, Co. Clare. Published accounts of him include a brief mention in an overview of the poets of that county published by T. F. O’Rahilly as well as those by Pádraig Ó Fiannachta and Eilís Ní Dheá. Pádraig de Brún has suggested that the ‘Michael Reilly’ employed as a teacher for the Clare district by the Irish Society in 1826 is perhaps the same as our scribe. In light of a colophon written in 1855 in which Ó Raghallaigh tells his reader that he was seventy years of age, he was born in 1785 or 1786. Moreover, according to a note by a fellow scribe, Domhnall Mac Consaidín (fl. c.1845–1876) of Kilnamona in the barony of Inchiquin, it appears that Ó Raghallaigh may have been a native of Co. Cavan and it would seem that he died in 1856. Indeed, if we are to believe what George Macnamara mentioned in passing in an article on the O’Davorens of Cahermacnaghten in northw...

Assessing children’s proficiency in a minority language: Exploring the relationships between home language exposure, test performance and teacher and parent ratings of school-age Irish-English bilinguals
(2019)
Nic Fhlannchadha, Siobhán; Hickey, Tina
Abstract:
There can be significant diversity in the language experience of minority language children, and in the levels of proficiency reached. The declining numbers of children now exposed to Irish include those from homes where only/mainly Irish is spoken, those with only one Irish-speaking parent, and children from homes where one/both parent(s) speak ‘some Irish’, while levels of language use in the wider community also vary widely. The proficiency of children from Irish-speaking homes seems impressive compared with their L2 learner classmates, but still shows particular linguistic needs. Since acquisition of complex morphosyntactic features depends on both the quantity and quality of input, and extends well into the school years, assessing children’s performance on features such as grammatical gender may provide a useful index of need for language enrichment, even among young speakers judged by teachers and parents to be fluent. We report data from 306 Irish-speaking participants aged 6...
