Contributions to Modern Irish linguistics dedicated to Breandán Ó Buachalla in his 70th year. This is one field that Ó Buachalla specialised in over the years and inspired many of his students to develop an interest in the field.

The essays are written by former students and ex-colleagues with interests in Irish linguistics. The book covers various themes, from formal structures of the language to contemporary sociolinguistics.
