Fiona Dwyer (All IPIP Project Coordinator, ISPCC) Mary Nicholson (All IPIP Project Manager and Advocacy Manager, ISPCC) gl be AlI IPIP Information Pack INTRODUCTION The Globe: The All Ireland Programme for Immigrant Parents is a time defined project aimed at helping immigrant parents with living and parenting in Ireland. The information pack is one of three products from the project. The information pack has been designed as a handbook for parents on aspects of living in Ireland. It contains up- to-date information (correct at time of print in June 2010) on 6 different topics and links to other resources that you can access for further information. The Information Pack has been designed after extensive consultation with practitioners, young people and immigrant parents themselves. We have tried to incorporate as much as possible of what people have said they need information on. Each section is separated for easy access so if there is a topic which is particularly important for you, you can skip straight to it. SECTION 1: Living in Ireland - A Brief Introduction SECTION 2: Living in Ireland - Practical Information SECTION 3: Legal Information SECTION 4: The Health and Social Services System SECTION 5: The Education System SECTION 6: Recreational and Social Activities The sections are further divided into either questions and answers or information on a topic. This makes it easier to locate a particular section or get the answer to a particular question. At the end of the six sections there is a list of commonly used abbreviations and acronyms, a glossary of words and also a section on the use of the Irish language in Ireland. gl be AlI IPIP Information Pack CONTENTS SECTION 1: Living in Ireland - A Brief Introduction 5 SECTION 2: Living in Ireland - Practical Information 9 SECTION 3: Legal Information in Ireland 17 SECTION 4: The Health and Social Service System 22 SECTION 5: The Irish Education System 30 SECTION 6: Recreational and Social Activities 42 Glossary 44 Abbreviations and Acronyms 46 The Use of the Irish Language in Ireland 46 gl be AlI IPIP Information Pack WHERE CAN I FIND?

Printed in the United States of America oi.uchicago.edu PREFACE HE book contains twelve chapters, but it can be broken up structurally into five parts. First, the place of writing among the various systems of human inter­ communication is discussed. This is followed by four Tchapters devoted to the descriptive and comparative treatment of the various types of writing in the world. The sixth chapter deals with the evolution of writing from the earliest stages of picture writing to a full alphabet. The next four chapters deal with general problems, such as the future of writing and the relationship of writing to speech, art, and religion. Of the two final chapters, one contains the first attempt to establish a full terminology of writing, the other an extensive bibliography. The aim of this study is to lay a foundation for a new science of writing which might be called grammatology. While the general histories of writing treat individual writings mainly from a descriptive-historical point of view, the new science attempts to establish general principles governing the use and evolution of writing on a comparative-typological basis.

  • Planning the Linguistic Landscape
    Planning the Linguistic Landscape A Comparative Survey of the Use of Minority Languages in the Road Signage of Norway, Scotland and Italy Guy Puzey MSc by Research Scandinavian Studies (II) The University of Edinburgh 2007 1 Declaration I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due acknowledgement has been made in the text. It has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification except as specified. Guy Puzey 31 August 2007 2 Abstract This dissertation explores the controversial nature of current policies on the use of minority language place-names on official signage in Norway, Scotland and in Italy. Following a survey of recent developments in the study of multilingual environmental text and an analysis of the functions of place-names, these controversies are investigated in detail, with reference to legislation and reactions from the public and the media. The formats of the signs themselves are also the subject of close examination. Selected municipalities in northern Norway have, in recent years, erected signs in Sámi and Kven, but some of these signs have been a target for vandals. In Italy, the Lega Nord (Northern League), a right-wing separatist party, has long campaigned for dialect place-names to appear on signs. New regulations now allow this, but it remains a contentious topic. Meanwhile, in Scotland, the recent introduction of bilingual Gaelic and English signs in areas that previously only had English signs is considered by some to be costly tokenism.
