On Saturday 20 June 2020, Dr Sharon Arbuthnot from Queen's University Belfast will take part in the British Academy Virtual Summer Showcase, with her talk, 'Did you know… that some everyday Irish words have their origins outside Ireland?'.
The words we use reveal a lot about how communities have interacted and integrated. Taking examples from medieval Irish, Dr Arbuthnot explains what our evolving language can teach us about the complex connections between the lives of people in the Middle Ages.
The talk will be available on the British Academy Youtube channel
