Annotation

This volume presents a pragmatic analysis of Irish English, addressing language use in Ireland in the private, official and public sectors and exploring Irish English language use as a reflection of socio-cultural interaction norms. Indirectness and heterogeneity on the formal level are demonstrated to be characeristics of Irish English.
