affected by subsequent changes occurring in England. This seventeenth century English was acquired, gradually and with difficulty, by speakers of Irish; and in the process of their acquisition of it they modified it, both in pronunciation and in syntax, towards conformity with their own linguistic habits. Because of the social conditions existing in Ireland, Irish speakers rarely had the opportunity of prolonged contact with speakers of Standard English, and learned their English from those whose English was already less than perfect ; so that the influence of the Irish language was cumulative, and remains strong even in those parts of Ireland where Irish has long ceased to be spoken. The details of the accommodations between Irish and English are of great interest, and it is the purpose of this paper to examine four problems, two phonological and two syntactic. The solutions offered are tentative only, since it seems more important to demonstrate the nature of the problems than to find definitive solutions of them.2
