It would have helped if I had known some Irish but nevertheless I found this quick-moving book quite accessible and interesting, in particular the section on Hiberno English and the way words are used differently in English spoken in Ireland, for instance 'craic' which started off with the English spelling 'crack' before turning inauthentically into the current Irish spelling. Words like 'Eejit', 'Jaysus', 'Grand', 'Lads' and others are covered, 'grand' having a less emphatic meaning in Irish English. A lady sitting beside us on a DART train near Dublin used the word 'grand' or phrase 'that's grand' about a dozen times in five minutes. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
From the author of the bestselling Motherfoclóir, Non-fiction Irish Book of the Year. A TLSBOOK OF THE YEAR. What do we talk about when we talk about Irish? When we talk about saving or supporting a language do we mean the musical combination of syllables, or something more profound? How do new words enter a language, and what is the relationship between that strange dialect called Hiberno-English and its parent language? Craic Babypicks up exactly where Motherfoclóirleft off and explores the very new and very old parts of the Irish language from a personal perspective. While Motherfoclóirwas steeped in memory and a father-son relationship, Craic Babyhinges on the beginnings of a father-daughter relationship, and how watching a child learn to communicate changes how you think about language. Craic Babywill share more Irish words and issues connected to the language, in the same style as Motherfoclóir, but treated with greater confidence and more depth.
