Book Description
Welsh, like the other Celtic languages, is best known amongst linguists for its verb-initial word order and its use of initial consonant mutations. However it has many more characteristics which are of interest to syntacticians. This book, first published in 2007, provides a concise and accessible overview of the major syntactic phenomena of Welsh. A broad variety of topics are covered, including finite and infinitival clauses, noun phrases, agreement and tense, word order, clause structure, dialect variation, and the language's historical Celtic background. Drawing on work carried out in both Principles and Parameters theory and Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, it takes contemporary colloquial Welsh as its starting point and draws contrasts with a range of literary and dialectal forms of the language, as well as earlier forms (Middle Welsh) were appropriate. An engaging guide to all that is interesting about Welsh syntax, this book will be welcomed by syntactic theorists, typologists, historical linguists and Celticists alike.
Gowerland and Its Language

Book Description
Why is Gower different? The Gower Peninsula, an almost-island at the south of Wales, has had an English-speaking population for perhaps at least 900 years, which in itself makes it strange in Wales. Where did this English come from? What was it like? And why is it no longer to be heard? Gowerland and its language tells the story of the old Gower English and its speakers, for the first time bringing together all the chief descriptions of a unique dialect. Gowerland and its language is written for linguists and for all those with an interest in the Gower Peninsula.
