Abstract

This is a multi-authored volume which gathers essays devoted to Early Irish presented at the XIV International Congress of Celtic Studies, held in Maynooth, August 1-5 2011. The topics covered, either from a synchronic or a diachronic perspective, range from phonetics and phonology (C. Anderson, Consonant quality in Old Irish revisited; D. Stifter, The history of the Old Irish preverb to-) to morphology (A. Griffith, The decline of the Old Irish deponent) and syntax (E. Roma, Old Irish Noun Phrases: data from the Milan Glosses and a hypothesis for the origin of the single article constraint; E. Sanfelici, Thoughts on Old and Middle Irish verbal nouns: the type DP doVN), but also touch upon semantics (P.-Y. Lambert, A further note on the Old Irish negative particle nícon; D. van Loon, The usage of the historical present in Old Irish narrative prose) and metalinguistic aspects related to contact with Latin (B. Bauer, Parallel Old Irish and Old Breton glosses on Priscian’s Institutiones Grammaticae; A. Harvey, Linguistic method in his literary madness? The word-coinings of Virgilius Maro Grammaticus).
