A dictionary of Hiberno-English : the Irish use of English

Author:	T P Dolan
Publisher:	Dublin : Gill & Macmillan, 1999.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"Hiberno-English is the name given to the Irish dialect of English. It differs from Standard English on two principal counts. First, it is a hybrid dialect, full of borrowings from the Irish language, with words or phrases imported directly or in anglicised form ('meas', 'rawmaish', 'galore', and so on). Thus 'galore' is an anglicisation of the Irish 'go leor', meaning 'in abundance'. Galore has now passed into Standard English usage, but Hiberno-English is full of such formations which remain unique to Ireland. Irish also influences the grammar, as in 'I'm after writing a letter'." "The second strand in Hiberno-English comprises words obsolete in Standard English but still commonly used in Ireland. Thus a word like 'oxter', meaning an armpit, is still in general use in Ireland but passed out of Standard English around 1800. Similarly, words such as 'cog', to cheat in an exam, 'crack', 'bowsey' and 'delph' have retained their currency in Ireland." "In this pioneering work, Professor Dolan has prepared an accessible one-volume dictionary of Hiberno-English."--BOOK JACKET.  Read more...
