  • The Early Concept of the Celtic Colour Term glas in Welsh and Irish and its Later Semantic Diversification

    Sabine Asmu, Sabine Asmus et al.ARTICLEJournal of Celtic Linguistics2024

    The Celtic colour term glas has been subject to a number of misconceptions over the decades, e.g.that it is a grue category, that it is untranslatable, and that the range of colour shades covered by glas is cross-linguistically rare. Coming from a diachronic perspective, this article aims to give a logical explanation of the developments of the semantics of glas , followed by an overview of the synchronic semantics of the word in both Irish and W…

  • Word Order Alignment in Three-Argument Constructions of Irish

    Open AccessBrian Nolan, Mark Ó FionnáinARTICLERoczniki Humanistyczne2021

    This study examines the ordering of the actor (A), theme (T) and recipient (R) arguments in three-argument clauses, the prepositional ditransitive constructions of Irish. The ordering of the A, T and R arguments in three-argument clauses is an area where linguistic complexity is manifest in the Irish grammar. Across languages, the factors which influence word order adjustments, from a basic word order of A-T-R, are known to include iconicity, inf…

    Mark Ó FionnáinARTICLEStudia Celto-Slavica2018Referencias: 1

    From the start of the Gaelic Revival in the 1890s to the present day, various Russian authors have appeared in Irish in translation, from Tolstoy, Chekhov and Pushkin in the early days to Kharms and Pelevin in more recent times. Although it is unlikely that many of those who have translated into Irish were doing so from the original Russian, this was indeed the case in several instances. The aim of this paper is to thus take a look at several of …
