This seminar aims to acquaint students with two of the oldest English
varieties. Starting from a common Celtic core we will have a look at the
historical events and linguistic influences which have shaped present
day’s Irish and Scottish English on all levels of language. Furthermore,
we will discover current developments and the representation of these
varieties in today’s media. Literature for the different aspects of this
seminar will be provided at the beginning of the seminar.
