The transportation of embedded inversion in world Englishes
The present study uses private correspondence to investigate the use of embedded inversion on both sides of the Atlantic as an illustration of the spread of spoken/conversational features through writing. The paper discusses the use of embedded inversion in Irish English (IrE) and briefly compares its occurrence in other varieties of English during the 19th century. The data come from CORIECOR, the Corpus of Irish English Correspondence , which c…
Linguistic Perceptions of Irish English in Nineteenth-century Emigrant Letters
In this paper we look at the real voices of Irish English speakers in the nineteenth century. By turning to the Corpus of Irish English Correspondence (McCafferty & Amador-Moreno, 2012), we analyse the perceptions that letter writers had of their own language use. We apply a micro-perspective analysis to the language of John Kerr, an Irish emigrant to America, in his letters to his uncle James Graham of Newpark (Co. Antrim, N. Ireland). We examin…
Irish English and Irish Studies
The construction of a linguistic collective identity uses a pool of conscious and unconscious elements that deal with age, gender, or ethnic belonging. In the Irish communicative system, one present-day type of collective masculine identity is that of “the lads.” Previous studies on “laddish” behaviour and performance from literary or social perspectives explored conduct in contexts such as sports, violence, sex, or alcohol. To encourage interdis…
There as a discourse-pragmatic marker in Irish English
The upper ranks of corpus word frequency lists are primarily populated by functional items, as well as by other small words characterised by their polysemy that reward focussed attention and research. Exploring these items has resulted in rich and fruitful insights from a corpus pragmatic perspective. This paper focuses on the nature and value of there as a discourse-pragmatic marker in Irish English (IrE). We focus on intimate discourse (i.e., t…

“Irish English had to do with personal identity, and you can’t get rid of that”. An Interview with Juan José Delaney

Encapsulating Irish English in literature
This article examines the representation of Irish English in contemporary Irish writing, with particular reference to the narrative of the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly saga, a series of comic novels created by Irish writer Paul Howard which has enjoyed phenomenal success in Ireland, due in part to the author's ability to convey contemporary spoken English in Dublin. Our study consists of a corpus analysis of three of his novels, where we are able to desc…
Fictionalising orality
Fictional texts display traces of orality to a greater or lesser extent. As argued in a great deal of scholarly work on stylistics, whatever the precise characteristics of the textual representation of orality may be, for interactive talk in fiction to be understood, it must be interpretable in terms of the same rules of discourse that govern everyday verbal interaction. That is not to say that fictional dialogue is in any sense the same as real …
Irish English
The pragmatics of the be + after + V-ing construction in Irish English
This paper looks at a well-documented form in Irish English, ‘be after + Verb-ing’ (e.g. ‘He's after forgetting to pay her’) which roughly equates to the present perfect aspect in Standard English. The structure, a calque on an Irish form, has been used in the past in literature and cartoons to both characterize and stigmatize Irish English. This paper tests the hypothesis that this structure is still widely used in Irish English today because it…
How the Irish Speak English
It is a great pleasure to sit down and talk to someone with whom I share similar research interests. I suppose we should start by defining what Hiberno-English is. What is Hiberno-English? Is it the same as IrE? Hiberno-English (HE) is the technical term for the Irish use of English. It is a term used
