Beschreibung

Celtic Language Shift explores how Gaelic and Brythonic languages in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales have transformed under persistent political and cultural dominance. This study investigates the structural adaptations within these languages and the sociolinguistic factors driving language shift and maintenance. The book highlights the impact of historical events like the Norman and English conquests and the Highland Clearances, providing a comprehensive view of language evolution in the face of external pressures. The book presents a historical, political, and social context to understand the complex forces at play.

 
Examining the decline of the Irish language due to English colonization and comparing the experiences of Scottish Gaelic and Welsh, it reveals both shared challenges and unique adaptations in language maintenance. This comparative analysis offers insights into broader patterns of language contact, endangerment, and revitalization worldwide, challenging simplistic notions of language decline.

 
Structured in four parts, the book introduces the Celtic language family, examines the situation in Ireland, then Scotland and Wales, and synthesizes the findings to draw broader conclusions about language shift. Using historical documents, linguistic corpora, and sociolinguistic surveys, Celtic Language Shift provides a nuanced perspective suitable for specialists and general readers interested in linguistics, Celtic history, and language preservation.

Fierce Attachments - A Memoir

Vivian Gornick

In this deeply etched and haunting memoir, Vivian Gornick tells the story of her lifelong battle with her mother for independence. Gornick's groundbreaking book confronts what Edna O'Brien has called "the principal crux of female despair": the unacknowledged Oedipal nature of the mother-daughter bond. 
 
 
 
Born and raised in the Bronx, the daughter of "urban peasants," Gornick grows up in a household dominated by her intelligent but uneducated mother's romantic depression over the early death of her husband. Next door lives Nettie, an attractive widow whose calculating sensuality appeals greatly to Vivian. These women with their opposing models of femininity continue, well into adulthood, to affect Gornick's struggle to find herself in love and in work. 
 
 
 
As Gornick walks with her aged mother through the streets of New York, arguing and remembering the past, each wins the listener's admiration: the caustic and clear-thinking daughter, for her courage and tenacity in really talking to her mother about the most basic issues of their lives, and the still powerful and intuitively-wise old woman, who again and again proves herself her daughter's mother.
