The impact of Brexit on the Irish Language with Dr. Katie Ni Loingsigh

This talk focuses on the introduction and adoption of new words associated with Brexit into the Irish language. While Brexit is still a relatively new word, it is a highly topical subject and many Brexit-related words are now in common usage, e.g. no deal, hard/soft Brexit, Brexiteers, in both English and Irish. This presentation aims to provide an insight into the development of Brexit-related words in the Irish language and explore how they are used in print media. Katie Ní Loingsigh is a native of county Cork and an Irish-language lecturer in St. Angela's College, Sligo, a college of the National University of Ireland, Galway.
