Contents:
Frontmatter -- Foreword -- Contents -- Aims and structure of the study -- List of tables -- List of abbreviations -- Part I: Preliminary chapters -- 1 Old Irish and the notion of clause typing -- 2 The Old Irish verbal complex: Morphological structure and components -- 3 The syntax of the Old Irish verbal complex: Unmarked and marked word orders -- Part II: The Old Irish clause types -- 4 Declarative and relative clause types -- 5 Subordination in Old Irish -- 6 Wh‑interrogative clause type -- 7 Polar interrogative, responsive, and imperative clause types -- Part III: The Old Irish paradigm of clause types -- 8 The Old Irish paradigm of clause types -- 9 Clause types in the present indicative of the Old Irish substantive verb and copula -- 10 Personal pronouns and clause typing in Old Irish -- 11 Conclusions -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: Austin’s words on page 1 of his seminal work How to do things with words are valid for this study on clause typing in the Old Irish verbal complex: “The phenomenon to be discussed is very widespread and obvious, and it cannot fail to have been already noticed, at least here and there, by others. Yet I have not found attention paid to it specifically”.Old Irish, a regular V1 language, morphologically distinguishes six clause types, to wit, declarative, relative, wh- and polar interrogative, responsive and imperative clause types. After discussing the constituency of the Old Irish verbal complex and the pragmatically marked orders, i.e. cleft-sentence and left-dislocation, the form, function, paradigmatic consistency and syntax of those clause types are then analysed in detail. The other main issues of this study are the descriptively adequate paradigm of clause types and the interaction of clause typing with subordination and with non-verbal predication in Old Irish.This monograph offers a comprehensive view of clause typing, its morphological expression and related phenomena in the earliest Insular Celtic language, and may also contribute to the general consideration of these topics in both the typological and diachronic perspectives.
