    ENGAGING WITH ROBUST CROSS-PARTICIPANT VARIABILITY IN AN ENDANGERED MINORITY VARIETY: INTONATION IN DÉISE IRISH Connor McCabe Trinity College, Dublin [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper adapts data and analyses from unpublished recent work on Déise prosody [11], This paper explores the issue of speaker uniformity in elaborating on the importance of engaging with and the phonetic study of endangered language varieties, seeking to explain participant variability. Distribution with reference to work on the dialect of Irish (Gaelic) of intonational features (described autosegmentally- spoken in Gaeltacht na nDéise (Co.

  • Roll of Honour Irish Athletics Champions 1861
    Roll of Honour Irish Athletics Champions 1861 - 2019 Comments, additions, corrections to Pierce O'Callaghan [email protected] & Cyril Smyth [email protected] as at December 2019 The Irish Champion Athletic Club (Irish Champions AC) was founded during late 1872/early 1873 and organised the first Irish Championships on Monday July 7, 1873 in College Park Dublin. These championships have been held every year since and are the longest running national championships in the world. The Irish Champions AC, then foundered quite rapidly, being wound-up in 1880/81. Thereafter the championship meeting was run by an ad hoc committee in 1881, and by the Dublin Athletic Club from 1882 to 1884. After several abortive attempts to establish a national governing body for athletics, two were formed over the winter months of 1884/85. First the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) was formed not alone to encourage and administer athletics, but also to develop and foster the traditional Irish field sports of hurling and football, as well as handball. Their action galvanised the existing athletics "establishment" in Dublin who perceived the formation of the GAA - insofar as pertained to athletics as a usurpation, and so was formed, very soon after, the Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA). The distinction between the two rival governing associations is often explained in purely political terms whereas, in reality, the situation is rather more complex; particularly since both organisations embraced a quite broad spectrum of political aspiration, so that once the initial hostilities subsided the majority of athletes, whatever their affiliations, seemed to have no philosophical problems competing in the promotions of both bodies, open meetings as well as championships.
