Colliding ideas
This paper presents a case study of a pilot interdisciplinary collaboration between digital technology law scholars and academic creative practitioners leading to the public art exhibition User Content? in Belfast in the autumn of 2024. Called LawTech Collider to encapsulate the premise that communication across disciplinary boundaries is often unpredictable, this interdisciplinary collaboration was conceptualised as a collision of ideas aimed at…

The Cambridge Companion to Irish Modernism
The story of Irish modernism constitutes a remarkable chapter in the movement's history. This volume serves as an incisive and accessible overview of that brilliant period in which Irish artists not only helped to create a distinctive nationalist literature but also changed the face of European and anglophone culture. This Companion surveys developments in modernist poetry, drama, fiction and the visual arts. Early innovators, such as Oscar Wilde…
The bilingual routes of Paul Muldoon/Pól Ó Maoldúin
Under the signature of Pól Ó Maoldúin, Paul Muldoon has published poems in Irish, promulgated Gaelic literature and culture on radio, and emerged as the most prominent of Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill's eminent poet-translators. Drawing on the Emory University archive and an in-depth personal interview, this article examines Muldoon's juvenilia in Irish (reproduced here with permission) and affiliation to his eighteenth-century precursors, the Gaelic poets…

The Phonetic Structures of Oaxaca Chontal
This paper presents the first description in some detail of aspects of the phonetic structures of the highly endangered Lowland variety of Oaxaca Chontal, including measurements of the characteristics of the vowels and a survey of the principal features of the consonant system. Particular attention is paid to the series of glottalized obstruents and sonorants, which vary a great deal in their manner of articulation and the nature and timing of th…
The land remembers
Chop, shred, snap apart’
Typological descriptions of understudied languages reveal intriguing crosslinguistic variation in descriptions of events of object separation and destruction. In Lowland Chontal of Oaxaca, verbs of cutting and breaking lexicalize event perspectives that range from the common to the quite unusual, from the tearing of cloth to the snapping apart on the cross-grain of yarn. This paper describes the semantic and syntactic criteria that characterize t…

Neighborly Hostility and Literary Creoles
Neighborly Hostility and Literary Creoles: The Example of Hugh MacDiarmid Laura O’Connor (bio) This article explores the influence of linguicism—discrimination against others on the basis of language and speaking style—on the poetics and politics of literary Creoles by examining the “Synthetic Scots” of modernist poet Hugh MacDiarmid. When languages that have previously been separate are brought into contact as a result of colonization, migration…
Aspectual classes and non-agentive morphosyntax in Lowland Chontal
The Native Languages of South America
In South America indigenous languages are extremely diverse. There are over one hundred language families in this region alone. Contributors from around the world explore the history and structure of these languages, combining insights from archaeology and genetics with innovative linguistic analysis. The book aims to uncover regional patterns and potential deeper genealogical relations between the languages. Based on a large-scale database of fe…
