Description

Darach O'Séaghdha's latest work picks up where his bestselling Motherfoclóir left off, exploring the Irish language from a new perspective. This time, he delves into the very old and very new parts of the language, sharing more words and issues connected to it in a style that is both personal and profound. The author reflects on how watching a child learn to communicate changes one's thoughts about language, and how this experience informs his own understanding of the Irish language. With greater confidence and depth than before, O'Séaghdha shares new insights into the complexities of Hiberno-English and its parent language. This book is a natural follow-up to Motherfoclóir, offering a fresh perspective on the Irish language and its place in our lives.
