Specific grammatical features in Irish English
Mudrochová, Aneta ; Šaldová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Gráf, Tomáš (referee)
The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the description of specific morphological and syntactic features of Irish English. The list of non-standard features is based on contemporary literature and is comprehensive in number. The aim of this part is to provide a synchronic account of contemporary non-standard features which occur in the Republic of Ireland. The frequency of selected features is proved via the Irish branch of the International Corpus of English. The British National Corpus is used occasionally as a means of comparison with British English. In the practical part the non-standard features are traced in use. The list of specific features found in three plays by contemporary Irish dramatists is provided with a brief commentary. The specificity of these features is verified via works established in the field of the grammar of English.
