IMPORTANT!!!
Unfortunately, due to the current closure of the universities, our public lecture will have to be postponed.
IRAAL PUBLIC LECTURE: Language, Perceptions and Media: Just what are teenagers in Dublin doing?
Dr Stephen Lucek
7:30 pm, 26 March
Newman Building (room D301)
UCD
Teenagers are described as the movers and shakers of language change, offering a window into new features of language use. But how much do we actually know about how teenagers perceive language and how does this affect their views towards the future? Does it matter what these young people are shown through media?
This talk provides some empirical evidence of classroom-based research that asks questions about language perceptions and media representations of Irish English—and in particular Dublin English, or Dublin Englishes. Taken together with extant research, the talk points towards the ways in which different data types can be used to address these questions.
Dr Stephen Lucek is Postdoctoral Fellow in Linguistics at University College Dublin. He was awarded his PhD in Linguistics from Trinity College Dublin in 2015 with a thesis entitled “Talking about Space: The Spatial Reference System of Irish English”. He has written about Irish English from a number of perspectives and is a co-editor of TEANGA.
IRAAL wishes to express its thanks to UCD for kindly hosting this public lecture.

Lárionad na Gaeilge: Taighde, Teagasc agus Tástáil
Centre for Irish Language: Research, Teaching and Testing
A high-level delegation from the European Parliament in Luxembourg will visit Maynooth University in the morning of the 24 March 2020 with a view to promoting Irish linguist profiles at the Parliament and discussing the translation profession with both university academics and students. The delegation will include Valter Mavrič, Director General for Translation at the European Parliament, Véronique Rosenkranz, Director for Translation, and Ieva Mainardi, Head of the Irish-language Unit.
The group has asked to meet members of the management team and lecturers for the first half hour, followed by a bilingual presentation (Irish and English) for students and a question and answer session; the latter should take about 1 ½ hours. The delegation will return to Luxemburg later that day.
Although the Parliament in Luxemburg will no longer recruit ‘translators’ but ‘intercultural and language professionals’, the work of new recruits will still focus on translation.
The delegation would like to meet students studying translation, Irish, French, German, Italian, Spanish and, in particular, law. The European institutions are especially interested in Irish applicants with English skills, since, as a result of Brexit, UK citizens will no longer be recruited.
Students from other universities will also be welcome to attend the presentation, as the delegation will not be in a position to visit any other institution in the Dublin area on this occasion.
The International Conference Approaching Contemporary Challenges of Global Migration will be held in Grangegorman on 18-19 June 2020.
