Rezensionen

'Raymond Hickey's Irish English is a work of impressive scholarship, very well documented and thoroughly researched. Together with the same author's invaluable Source Book for Irish English (Hickey, 2002), corpus of Irish English (Hickey, 2003), Sound Atlas of Irish English (Hickey, 2004),and ... study of Dublin English (Hickey, 2005), this book constitutes a definitive account of the historical development and present-day situation of Ir.E., and signposts directions for possible future research into language change and language contact in Ireland.'
