The revivals of Manx – introduction
Within the academic and popular literature on endangered languages, Manx is frequently invoked as an iconic example of 'language death'often with a black-andwhite photograph of Ned Maddrell , the reputed last native speaker (e. g.Nettle and Romaine 2000: ix, 4), and sometimes with little awareness of the significant revitalization efforts undertaken in the Isle of Man in recent decades.Nonetheless, the Manx language movement has also increasingly…
Constructing “Traditional Manx”: The persistence of native speaker models in post-shift revitalization
A predominant ideological tendency in the Manx language movement positions contemporary revival speakers as legitimate successors of historical native speakers, with linguistic innovations framed as naturalized language change. Simultaneously, strongly purist stances have seen the borrowing of numerous lexical items from the closely related Gaelic languages, at the expense of established English loanwords. A countervailing stance has gained groun…
Lig dasyn ren geid, dyn geid nyssmoo’: A Manx sermon against theft from 1752
Dieser Artikel beinhaltet eine Ausgabe einer manx-gälischen Manuskriptpredigt aus dem Jahr 1752, die im Nachlass von Sir John Rhŷs in der Nationalbibliothek von Wales verwahrt wird. Dieser vom Pfarrer Thomas Allen (1710- 1754) verfasste Text enthält wohl das aus grammatikalischer, idiomatischer und orthographischer Sicht „schlechteste“ Manx des gesamten bisher untersuchten Predigtkorpus. Allerdings bieten die Eigenheiten des Textes umso mehr Raum…
Preocclusion in Manx
Preocclusion – the insertion of a homorganic stop element before stressed final nasals and laterals – is one of the best-known features of Manx phonology. In written sources the phenomenon is only attested in certain nineteenth-century folksong manuscripts in non-standard orthography, although there is reason to believe it developed significantly earlier. This article examines the phenomenon from synchronic, diachronic and comparative perspective…
Gaelic Community Development and the Gàidhealtachd Question
The present article discusses issues relating to territorially-differentiated community language development policy in the Scottish Gaelic and Irish contexts, and evaluates recent contributions to debate on the topic. The historical backdrop to current provision for Gaelic community development is explored within the wider context of Gaelic governance structures and funding streams. The article analyses current developments in the Scottish Govern…
Manx manuscript sermons, 1696–1863: Language and historical context
Approximately 650 manuscript sermons written and preached in Manx by the Anglican clergy of the Isle of Man survive from the period between 1696 and 1863, exceeding the number found in Irish and Scottish Gaelic combined. Most of the sermons have identifiable authors and contain precise dates and places of preaching, as well as details of re-use and adaptation, and are thus a rich source of information on the island’s social, religious and linguis…
Continuity and hybridity in language revival: The case of Manx
This article presents a typology of phonological, morphosyntactic, and lexical features illustrative of factors conditioning the usage of speakers and writers of Revived Manx, including substratal influence from English; language ideologies prevalent within the revival movement, especially forms of linguistic purism; and language-specific features of Manx and its orthography. Evidence is taken primarily from a corpus of Revived Manx speech and wr…
The Class Situation of Information Specialists: A Case Analysis
This paper examined the paradoxical class situation of information specialists in the post-industrial society as both professionals and employees. We described and analyzed the 'technocratic' authority wielded by them and their mode of consciousness. We assessed whether these workers functioned as the vanguard of a new style of democratized work or buttressed the position of managerial authority. We used qualitative methods to study the social co…
