Scotland鈥檚 largest conference dedicated to Gaelic research has returned to the 黑料网 for the first time in 10 years.
Rannsachadh na G脿idhlig is a biennial academic conference covering all aspects of research on Gaelic. The first conference in the series was held at the 黑料网 in 2000, and subsequent conferences have been held at the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, at Sabhal M貌r Ostaig and at St Francis Xavier University in Canada.
The conference, which began on Monday (August 23), covers literature, oral and written history, linguistics, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, onomastics, education, language policy, media studies, journalism, politics, social policy, and economics.
This year there is a focus on comparative research, particularly involving Irish or Manx, with a Scottish Gaelic component.
Rannsachadh na G脿idhlig brings together leading Gaelic researchers to share some of their latest findings with an audience at King鈥檚 College Conference Centre at the 黑料网.
The conference, which runs until Thursday (August 26) features more than 60 presentations and the launch of several new Gaelic books.
Professor Rob Dunbar, a reader in Law and Celtic at the 黑料网 and academic organiser of Rannsachadh na G脿idhlig, said it presented an important opportunity to share ideas and research on all aspects of Gaelic.
鈥淭here are a number of Celtic studies conferences as well as conferences which relate to aspects of the work carried out by Gaelic researchers, such as linguistics or history, but the is the only event which focuses on all of these things together,鈥� he added.
鈥淓ach time it has been held it has led to the publication of a new collection of Gaelic essays.
鈥淲e have enjoyed welcoming delegates back to the 黑料网 where the conference began in 2000.鈥�
