This chapter presents the different ways Irish English has been perceived and portrayed from the twelfth century to the present day. These three ways can be viewed as parts of a triangular relationship. Here linguists are central in (i) describing observed language variation, (ii) analysing language perceptions, and (iii) understanding the importance of media representations of language varieties. These three aspects reinforce the notion of Irishness—and more to the point, specific types of Irishness—through sound and vision. The current chapter seeks to examine the through lines between (i) the observations of linguists, (ii) the perceptions of non-linguists, and (iii) the ways that writers access and manipulate these data in crafting believable and authentic texts. The chapter concludes with the experimental model of language use, perception, and representation proposed by the author.

Ireland’s 2018 referendum on the Eighth Amendment, in which a majority of the Irish electorate voted to repeal the state’s quasi-total ban on abortion, saw important public discussions regarding Irish national identity in the twenty-first century. From a linguistic perspective, this begs the question of what role language played in the construction of national identity during the referendum campaign. This paper will examine Irish English features in the referendum campaign’s linguistic landscape and the extent to which they were used to index national identity. While there has been a significant amount of research on language ideologies connected to Irish, there has been little attention paid to Irish English and its relationship with national identity in the linguistic landscape literature. Drawing on a dataset of 1680 LL items collected from the 2018 referendum campaign (including campaign posters, placards, banners and stickers), this paper examines signs containing distinctive Irish English features, employing a qualitative, multimodal approach to the indexing of national identity. Specifically, it asks whether and under what conditions it is possible to claim that the use of Irish English features can be taken to index national identity.
