Product Description

Product Description
Describes in depth all the Celtic languages from historical, structural and sociolinguistic perspectives, with individual chapters on Irish, Scottish, Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Breton and Cornish.

From the Back Cover

An updated and comprehensive account of the Celtic languages, including historical aspects, grammatical descriptions and sociolinguistic accounts of the main languages of the family. Where appropriate, and particularly in Part 4, content will be revised in light of recent research, and to reflect demographic and other sociolinguistic changes; structurally the volume has changed to position all the historical material within Part 1, which will now include two new chapters (Chapter 3 on Old and Middle Irish and Chapter 4 on Old and Middle Welsh).

As with the first edition, this volume is intended as a course book for linguists and general readers interested in the historical development of the Celtic languages, their current linguistic make-up, and their status as minority and endangered languages. As before, this volume includes contributions from leading scholars in the field.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Celtic Languages - Nefoedd, 25 Jan 2004
This review is from: The Celtic Languages (Routledge Language Family Descriptions) (Paperback)
Well, after browsing through this book, i decided to start from chapter 1; initially i intended to jump straight into the chapters relating to the Brythonic Languages, but after seeing how they used terminology, i decided start at the start.
As a student of linguistics and a learner of three Celtic tongues (all Brythonic) i find this book utterly fascinating, as well as an infinitely useful resource for my (undergraduate level) course. Although it's not a set text for my course, it is my area of interest and i can use it to that effect without too much difficulty in essay writing. So here comes my recommendation:

Buy this book if you have any interest in Celtic Language; when you buy this book, though, by a dictionary of linguistics too (unless you have an encyclopaedic view of linguistic terms), as you'll probably require it. Good material, but hard-going!
