The Pragmatics of Irish English
Redigert av Anne Barron, Klaus P. Schneider, 2005.Del av serien Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs [TiLSM].
Irish English, while having been the focus of investigations on a variety of linguistic levels,has not often been researched on the pragmatic level. In the present volume, this imbalance is addressed by providing much-needed empirical data on language use in Ireland in the private, official and public spheres and also by examining the use of Irish English as a reflection of socio-cultural norms of interaction. The contributions cover a wide range of pragmatic phenomena and draw on a number of frameworks of analysis. Despite the wide scope of topics and methodologies, a relatively coherent picture of conventions of language use in Ireland emerges. Indirectness and heterogeneity on the formal level are, for instance, shown to be features of Irish English.
