IRISH-ENGLISH THESAURUS is the stunning culmination of Garry Bannister's life's work and a milestone in engagement with the Irish language and its culture. It is a reference book like no other, a meticulously researched record which captures the beauty, agility, depth and history of the Irish language.
Entries include but are not limited to translations, synonyms, usages and colloquialisms, common word combinations and proverbs. Every single entry reveals fresh and often surprising perspectives on contemporary and older usage. An original and innovative grammar guide offers leaner and more accurate descriptions of how the language is used. Lists of thematically grouped vocabulary appear throughout the book as an extremely useful tool for language-building and prose writing.
IRISH-ENGLISH THESAURUS is a significant addition to the corpus of reference texts, an essential and indispensable resource for speakers, authors, poets, journalists, students and teachers, and, indeed, for anyone wishing to enrich and develop their spoken and written Irish-language skills.
About the Author: Faoin Údar Fuair an Dr GARRY BANNISTER a oideachas i gColáiste na Trìonóide i mBaile Átha Cliath, áit a ndearnadh sé staidéar ar an Ghaeilge agus an Rúisis. Chuaigh sé ar scoláireacht go Moscó i 1977. Ba ansin a bhain sé céim amach i dteanga agus i nualitrìocht na Rúisise agus PhD sa teangeolaìocht chomparáideach. I dtosach na n-ochtóidì chuir sé an chéad Roinn le Nua-Ghaeilge ar bun i StátOllscoil Mhoscó. Ar fhilleadh dó abhaile bhì sé ina cheannaire ar feadh trìocha bliain ar Roinn na Gaeilge i gColáiste Choilm Bhaile Átha Cliath. Agus, ó am go chéile, bhì sé ina léachtóir ar cuairt i gColáiste Phádraig, Droim Conrach, áit inar thug sé léachtaì ar Nualitrìocht na Gaeilge. Chomhoibrigh sé fosta in aistriúcháin ar thaiscì liteartha na Gaeilge le David Sowby (An tOileánach), Alan Titley (Cré na Cille), Gabriel Rosenstock (Comhrá le Lì Hé). Tá sé ina údar ar Fhoclóir an Fhoghlaimeora, Labhair Rúisis Liom, Essential Irish agus ar thrì eagrán nìos luaithe den teasáras nua breisithe seo. Le déanaì, tháinig leabhair eile uaidh amhail an fhoinse thagartha úd ar a bhfuil buanghnaoi an phobail, Proverbs in Irish, What's That as Gaeilge? An English-Irish Phrasebook agus aistriúcháin le tráchtaireachtaì ar na Cóáin chlasaiceacha Zen, A Path Home - Conair Siar, na leabhair uile sin foilsithe ag New Island. About the Author Dr GARRY BANNISTER was educated at Trinity College Dublin, where he studied Irish and Russian. On a scholarship to Moscow in 1977, he received a degree in Russian language and literature and also completed a PhD in comparative linguistics. He set up the first Department of Modern Irish at Moscow State University in the early 1980s. Upon his return to Ireland, he taught at St Columba's College in Dublin, where he was head of the Irish Department for nearly thirty years. He has also been a visiting lecturer on modern Irish literature at St Patrick's College, Drumcondra. He has worked on the translations of Irish literary classics such as An tOileánach with David Sowby, Cré na Cille with Alan Titley and Comhrá le Lì Hé with Gabriel Rosenstock. He is the author of Foclóir an Fhoghlaimeora, Labhair Rúisis Liom, Essential Irish, and three earlier editions of his Irish-English Thesaurus. More recently, his work includes the perennially popular Proverbs in Irish, What's That as Gaeilge?
