Current Issues in Celtic Linguistics

This series is centered around linguistic approaches to the Celtic languages (including Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Breton, Cornish, new varieties of these languages, and extinct Celtic languages such as Continental Celtic, Old Welsh, Old Irish etc). We will also consider volumes written about heavily Celtic-influenced non-Celtic languages, such as Hebridean English, Scots, and Hiberno English. We accept volumes in all areas of linguistics including, but not limited to: syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, phonetics, computational linguistics, language acquisition, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, geolinguistics, corpus linguistics, applied linguistics and language documentation and revitalization. A diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches is welcome. The series invites proposals for monographs and edited volumes reporting on high quality research. The series particularly welcomes work that is grounded in novel empirical research as well as work that represents the state-of-the-art in theory.

Synopsis:

This book showcases the latest research from the world’s leading experts on Celtic linguistics. The 15 chapters span a variety of linguistic subdisciplines as well as theoretical and methodological perspectives. Together, these articles highlight critical aspects of contemporary inquiry into the linguistic systems of Breton, Cornish, Irish, Manx, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh and their ancestor languages. The volume is organized around four key sub-areas: (1) Syntax and Semantics, (2) Phonology and Phonetics, (3) Language Change, Historical Linguistics and Grammaticalization, and (4) Sociolinguistics and Language Documentation. The volume's papers offer detailed investigations of current theoretical issues in Celtic syntax, semantics, phonology, and phonetics, as well as of language policy and ideology, language weaponization, and diachronic and synchronic language change. These state-of-the-art contributions represent the impressive diversity of the field of Celtic linguistics and emphasize the wide body of work being conducted in the language communities of the six Celtic nations.
