Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A Sound Atlas of Irish English provides a comprehensive audio overview of contemporary English as spoken in Ireland, featuring over 1,500 recordings made between the mid-1990s and 2002. The collection includes voices from both genders and all ages, representing all 32 counties, with a significant focus on Belfast and Dublin, making it ideal for sociolinguistic research. Users can easily access the data via a DVD equipped with a Java application that allows browsing by county and listening to lexical set realizations and free text. Additional information on Irish English varieties, historical development, and current distribution is included on the DVD and in the accompanying book, which details specific features and the methodology used. The atlas serves a dual purpose: as a research tool for scholars interested in the internal aspects of Irish English and as a reliable source for comparative studies with other English varieties worldwide. It is particularly beneficial for students, allowing them to listen to sound files for a clearer understanding of Irish English. The project is further enhanced by A Survey of Irish English Usage, which includes over 1,000 questionnaires on the acceptance of grammatical features specific to Irish English, along with analytical software on the DVD and discussion in the book. System requirements for the DVD are provided for both Windows and Apple MAC users.
