“The book may be useful for undergraduate classes focused on sociolinguistics more generally, but is certainly of high value to more advanced scholarship on the specific matter of the study of languages in Ireland. … This volume presents a wide variety of methods and theoretical perspectives and ranges in scale from a close scrutiny of phonetic changes to broad historical trends … . This diversity of approaches introduces both breadth and depth to its intended topic with great efficacy.” (Josh Cannon, Language in Society, Vol. 47 (4), June, 2018)
