THE

CELTIC

LANGUAGES

The Celtic Languages describes in depth all the Celtic languages from historical, struc-

tural and sociolinguistic perspectives with individual chapters on Irish, Scottish Gaelic,

Manx, Welsh, Breton and Cornish.

This second edition has been thoroughly revised to provide a comprehensive and up to

date account of the modern Celtic languages and their current sociolinguistic status along

with complete descriptions of the historical languages.

This comprehensive volume is arranged in four parts. The ﬁ rst part offers a description

of the typological aspects of the Celtic languages followed by a scene-setting historical

account of the emergence of these languages. Chapters devoted to Continental Celtic, Old

and Middle Irish, and Old and Middle Welsh follow. Parts II and III are devoted to lin-

guistic descriptions of the contemporary languages. Part II has chapters on Irish, Scots

Gaelic and Manx, while Part III covers Welsh, Breton and Cornish. Part IV is devoted to

the sociolinguistic situation of the four contemporary Celtic languages and also has a ﬁ nal

chapter describing the status of the two revived languages Cornish and Manx.

With contributions from a variety of scholars of the highest reputation, The Celtic Lan-

guages continues to be an invaluable tool for both students and teachers of linguistics,

especially those with an interest in typology, language universals and the unique socio-

linguistic position which the Celtic languages occupy.

ROUTLEDGE LANGUAGE FAMILY SERIES

Each volume in this series contains an in-depth account of the members of some of the

world’s most important language families. Written by experts in each language, these

accessible accounts provide detailed linguistic analysis and description. The contents are

carefully structured to cover the natural system of classiﬁ cation: phonology, morphology,

syntax, lexis, semantics, dialectology, and sociolinguistics.

Every volume contains extensive bibliographies for each language, a detailed index

and tables, and maps and examples from the languages to demonstrate the linguistic fea-

tures being described. The consistent format allows comparative study, not only between

the languages in each volume, but also across all the volumes in the series.
