- Tantárgy tartalma
- This course provides an introduction to the history and culture of languages in Ireland, including both Irish (Gaeilge) and Hiberno-English, i.e. the unique variety of English spoken across Ireland. We will focus on their special vocabulary, idioms, and pronunciation, the characteristics pf which reflect the linguistic, cultural, and political history of Ireland and England (Dolan, p. 23). Besides familiarising ourselves with the changing use of the Irish language throughout history, we also will examine the use of languages in Irish literature, arts, film, and comedy. Moreover, the course will also contain an introductory-level Irish language instruction, for those who are interested in learning a cúpla focal as Gaeilge.
