Standardizing Irish: Discussing Dialectical Diversity, with Dr. Jonathan McGibbon

Déanfar plé ar fhorbairt na Gaeilge caighdeánaí i gcomhthéacs na héagsúlachta canúnaí agus idé-eolaíochta teanga (creidimh agus dearcthaí faoi theangacha). Cad é an rud Caighdeán Oifigiúil? An bhfuil canúint údarásach sa Ghaeilge? Cé a dhéanann cinntí faoin Ghaeilge oifigiúil agus cén dóigh?

This workshop will discuss the development of Standard Irish in the context of dialectal diversity and language ideologies (our beliefs about language). What is the Caighdeán Oifigiúil? Is there a preferred dialect in Irish? Who decides what type of Irish is official and how?
