Description
The Celtic Languages provides an in-depth exploration of all the Celtic languages from historical, structural and sociolinguistic perspectives. This second edition offers a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the modern Celtic languages and their current sociolinguistic status, along with complete descriptions of the historical languages. The book is arranged into four parts, starting with a description of the typological aspects of the Celtic languages, followed by a scene-setting historical account of their emergence. The contemporary languages are then described in detail, with chapters on Irish, Scots Gaelic and Manx, as well as Welsh, Breton and Cornish. Finally, a chapter examines the sociolinguistic situation of the four contemporary Celtic languages. With contributions from leading scholars, this volume is an invaluable resource for students and teachers of linguistics, particularly those interested in typology, language universals and the unique position of the Celtic languages.
