Abstract:
This thesis has three central goals. The first is to establish a system for how people used to talk about space in previous studies of Irish English. This Is done through constructing a Spatial Reference System from extant traditional dialect studies of Irish English. Those dialect findings are then evaluated against the two primary views of Irish English today; substrate transfer from Irish and standardisation. Secondly, through interviews and questionnaire responses, I will determine how people now talk about space.
