    The Interaction of Language Policy, Minority Languages and New Media A Study of the Facebook Translations Application Aoife Lenihan PhD Dissertation University of Limerick Supervisor: Dr Helen Kelly-Holmes School of Languages, Literature, Culture and Communication Submitted to the University of Limerick, November 2013 ii ABSTRACT The site of this research is new media, primarily the WWW. Language policy has traditionally been seen as the work of governments and their institutions and not related to domains such as Web 2.0. The primary research question of this thesis is to consider: what impact do new media have on language policy, in particular with regard to minority languages? It focuses on both the ‘top-down’ language policy and the increasingly ‘bottom-up’ language practices in new media. It is situated within the field of ‘new media sociolinguistics’ and aspires to move the focus of this area from the issue of linguistic diversity to the issue of language policy. What differentiates it from previous work is its attempt to link practice on the WWW with language policy. The method of investigation is virtual ethnography, which involves looking at computer- mediated communication (CMC) in online networks and communities, analysing the language content and observing the online interactions at the level of the users. It is used here to observe and investigate the de facto language policies on Facebook. It was the potential use of the community driven Facebook Translations app as a mechanism of language policy by ‘bottom-up’ interests, which first drew the researcher’s attention. In terms of language policy, Facebook, the Irish language community and their members act in both a ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ sense depending on the context of the situation, and thus the current research demonstrates that the assumed dichotomy of ‘bottom-up’ forces opposed to ‘top-down’ forces is not always in evidence.

    FÓRAM CHOIS FHARRAIGE UM PHLEANÁIL TEANGA SAMHAIN 2016 Cois Fharraige (Ros a’ Mhíl, An Tulach, Na Minna, An Cnoc, An Spidéal, Na Forbacha) Language Planning Forum Summary And Recommendations Language Plan 2017– 2023 0 FÓRAM CHOIS FHARRAIGE UM PHLEANÁIL TEANGA SAMHAIN 2016 1. Introduction Under the Gaeltacht Act 2012 the Gaeltacht was divided into 26 Language Planning Areas. Each area was given two years to prepare a Language Plan and the plan is to be implemented over a period of seven years. After some dicussion it was decided to form a body called Fóram Chois Fharraige um Phleanáil Teanga (Cois Fharraige Language Planning Forum). This body is representative of many voluntary community-based organisations operating in the five school areas of Na Forbacha, An Spidéal, An Cnoc, An Tulach and Ros a’ Mhíl. Údarás na Gaeltachta awarded the contract for the preparation of a language plan to the Forum, a contract was signed and funding was provided to prepare a plan. Work commenced in 2014. The challenges posed to the use of Irish as our community language vary greatly from area to area with the use of Irish weaker to the east of the Language Planning Area and stronger in the west. The use of Irish was mapped in a recent (2007 and updated in 2015) comprehensive sociolinguistic survey. The survey reports on the use of Irish in the five electoral divisions, which roughly reflect the five school areas. The three divisions west of An Spidéal are Category A (relatively strong Gaeltacht areas); An Spidéal is Category B (the use of Irish as a community language is under threat); and Na Forbacha is Category C (English is predominantly, but not solely, the language of the community).

Based on ethnographic fieldwork in western Ireland, we examine how non-traditional Irish speakers’ understanding of the Gaeltacht and its native speakers as a resource for immersion in the authentic language shapes expectations of how native Irish speakers within these areas not only speak, but also live and act. This discussion highlights the interconnections between linguistic ideology, social action, and political economy. Keyword Regime of language, Ireland, authenticity, Gaeltacht, language ideology Introduction On a recent trip back to Ireland for the Oireachtas (an annually-held Irish language and cultural festival), we got chatting to the taxi driver about the Irish language.

    Ag tacú le ‘nuachainteoirí’: Ag tógáil Líonraí agus Pobal Gaeilge taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht Supporting ‘new speakers’: Building Irish Language Networks and Communities outside the Gaeltacht Cruinniú geallsealbhóirí /Stakeholders’ meeting Dé hAoine 14 Deireadh Fómhair 2016/Friday 14th October 2016 Coláiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath/Trinity College, Dublin Bhí sé mar aidhm ag an gcruinniú seo deis plé a thabhairt do ghrúpaí atá ag cur na Gaeilge chun cinn lasmuigh den Ghaeltacht agus a oibríonn den chuid is mó le ‘nuachainteoirí’ na teanga, daoine a úsáideann an Ghaeilge go rialta ach nár tógadh le Gaeilge sa Ghaeltacht. Chuige sin thugamar cuireadh do Líonraí Gaeilge agus do ghrúpaí eile ar spéis leo cur isteach ar stádas mar Bhaile Seirbhíse Gaeltachta teacht le chéile chun na dúshláin agus na deiseanna a bhaineann leis an tionscnamh sin a aithint. Bhí ionadaithe ó Fhoras na Gaeilge agus Údarás na Gaeltachta i láthair chun cúlra na Líonraí/na mBailte Seirbhíse a phlé agus taithí na pleanála teanga sa Ghaeltacht a roinnt.

This meeting aimed to provide an opportunity for discussion to groups that are promoting Irish outside the Gaeltacht and that work for the most part with ‘new speakers’ of Irish, people who speak Irish regularly but were not raised with Irish in the Gaeltacht. To that end we invited representative of Irish Language Networks and groups interested in applying for status as Gaeltacht Service Towns to meet and identify and discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with this initiative.

    ‘As ucht a bhochtanais Ghaeiligh’ Parody, Poverty, & the Politics of Irish Folklore in An Béal Bocht * Gregory Darwin Harvard University In the foreword to An Béal Bocht, Myles na gCopaleen playfully assumes the role of editor and mimics the language of Pádraig Ó Siochfhradha’s introduction to Tomás Ó Criomthain’s autobiography, An tOileánach.1 The foreword emphasises the value of An Béal Bocht as a resource for learners of the Irish language and as an ethnography, offering an account of the people and way of life of Corca Dorcha, the fictional region where the novel is set.2 It also foregrounds the work of the fictional editor when it states that the majority of the original manuscript had to be left out on the grounds of propriety and that much more material could be published in the future if there is demand. By foregrounding the critical work of the editor in this way, Myles destabilises the ethnographer’s claims to objectivity and scientific truth. This foreword signals to the reader the parodic relationship between An Béal Bocht and not only An tOileánach but the Gaeltacht autobiography in general—one of the most important genres of Irish-language writing in the first half of the 20th century.3 It also calls attention to the processes and institutions whereby these autobiographies are edited and transmitted from the rural margins of Ireland to a national readership, and to the cultural nationalist ideologies driving those institutions. Myles maintains his mock-ethnographic voice in a second foreword that was included in the third edition of the novel, published in 1964, and references a common trope in the prevailing cultural nationalist discourse of the Irish revival: the equation of the material poverty of rural Irish-speaking areas with spiritual or cultural wealth in the form of the Irish language.
