Product Description

Product Description
When T. P. Dolan's 'A Dictionary of Hiberno-English' first appeared in hardback, the poet and critic Tom Paulin hailed it as his book of the year, describing it as a tremendous feat of scholarship. It is the only dictionary which provides an authoritative lexicon of the English language as spoken in Ireland. Hiberno-English differs from standard English in a number of ways, most notably through the retention of archaic forms redundant in standard English and through borrowings from the Irish language.

About the Author
Terence Patrick Dolan has been researching Hiberno-English since 1978. He has published and broadcast widely on English language and literature in Ireland and has edited and provided an introduction to P. W. Joyce's 'English as We Speak it in Ireland'. In 1996, in order to mark Ireland's presidency of the European Union, he was invited to lecture on the subject in Brussels and Luxembourg. He was a Senior Scholar at Oxford before joining the English Department at University College, Dublin, where he is now Associate Professor in Old and Middle English. He is a former Director of the International James Joyce Summer School and is one of the world's leading authorities on Hiberno-English.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, 29 Sep 2003
By T. Connaughton "4babies" (Drogheda, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an excellent book, and although it is a dictionary you can also read it page by page if you are interested in how the Irish speak English- which is certainly colourfully! Also very interesting as my granny is quoted throughout the book, so I hear a part of my childhood being spoken. Many of the words still used locally, to make a rich vibrant and wonderful form of English. Only the Irish could speak like this!

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent source book, 20 Jun 2000
By Chesapeake (United States) - See all my reviews
This is a must have for all students and interested parties of Irish literature. Most words here are standard in Irish speech but do not appear in other 'English' dictionaries. Sometimes the syntax of Irish speech is explained with its origins in the Irish language. Considering that Joyce's Ulysses is considered by many to be THE novel of the twentieth century this dictionary is a must to help simplify some of Joyce's [and other Irish writers'] prose.
