The Passive Exclusion of Irish in the Linguistic Landscape: A Nexus Analysis

Abstract

The contradiction presented within the above quote from a national Irish newspaper is actually a laconic articulation of the problem facing the Irish language revival movement in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) today. That is, despite there being less than 5 per cent of the population of the ROI who have Irish as their first language, virtually all Irish people have experienced the compulsory teaching of Irish from age 4–18 at school. Yet, as suggested by other Irish language researchers (for example, Kelly-Holmes, 2005; Ó Laoire, 2005), for many Irish people, this seems to be where the Irish language is literally ‘left behind’: at school. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
