By Sebastian Birner

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Linguistik, Note: 2,0, Universit t Bayreuth, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Today, it is common knowledge that the English language is not only located on the British Isles and the United states. In fact, it spread like wildfire all around the world and produced over 15 different varieties of English, each of them being able to exhibit its own vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar. In the following, I will provide an insight into a variety that is geographically the nearest one to the initial English language: Irish English. First of all, I will give an overview about the arrival of English in Ireland, then I will focus on a detailed analysis about the peculiarities of Irish English grammar and at the end I will draw attention to the diffusion of Irish English.
