Craic Baby Av Darach O'Seaghdha

<p>From the author of the bestselling <i>Motherfoclóir</i>, Non-fiction Irish Book of the Year. <br><b>A <i>TLS</i> BOOK OF THE YEAR. </b><br><br>What do we talk about when we talk about Irish? When we talk about saving or supporting a language do we mean the musical combination of syllables, or something more profound? How do new words enter a language, and what is the relationship between that strange dialect called Hiberno-English and its parent language? <br><br><i>Craic Baby</i> picks up exactly where <i>Motherfoclóir</i> left off and explores the very new and very old parts of the Irish language from a personal perspective. While <i>Motherfoclóir</i> was steeped in memory and a father-son relationship, <i>Craic Baby</i> hinges on the beginnings of a father-daughter relationship, and how watching a child learn to communicate changes how you think about language. <br><br><i>Craic Baby</i> will share more Irish words and issues connected to the language, in the same style as <i>Motherfoclóir</i>, but treated with greater confidence and more depth.</p>
