De r\u00e9ir Piirainen, \u2018Current studies\u2026 regard culture as a fundamentally acknowledged constant in phraseology. They have highlighted the fact that phrasemes (idioms in particular) are not only units of a sign system, language, but also carriers of cultures, pointing out the necessity for modern idiom research to turn to cultural phenomena\u2019 (Piirainen 2012: 47).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bhain muid go l\u00e9ir an-sult as an chur i l\u00e1thair \u00f3n Dr N\u00ed Loingsigh. Shimpligh s\u00ed \u00e1bhar casta agus rinne \u00e9 seo le fonn. Mh\u00ednigh s\u00ed a th\u00e1bhachta\u00ed at\u00e1 na seanfhocail agus na cora cainte sa Ghaeilge. D\u00e1 mbeadh orm cur s\u00edos a dh\u00e9anamh ar an chaint in aon fhocal amh\u00e1in, f\u00edorsp\u00e9isi\u00fail d\u2019\u00fas\u00e1idfinn, m\u00e1s ceadmhach dom an comhfhocal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meastar go bhfuil an LuathGhaeilge ar cheann de na teangacha is sine sa litr\u00edocht in Iarthar na hEorpa. T\u00e1 stair dhomhain agus traidisi\u00fan l\u00e1idir ag an Ghaeilge. T\u00e1 na m\u00edlte cora cainte agus seanfhocail le f\u00e1il inti. \u00c1r gcara Piirainen ar\u00eds, \u2018In languages with a literary tradition, there are thousands of idioms that go back to once-influential texts. Many seemingly \u201cnatural\u201d concepts to be found in the figurative lexicon do not go back to people\u2019s direct experiences or observation of nature but to conceptualizations found in works of literature, legends, folk narrations, classical and biblical texts, cinema films, and other old or modern texts\u2019 (Piirainen 2012: 58).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aithn\u00edtear an r\u00f3l t\u00e1bhachtach a imr\u00edonn t\u00e9acsanna liteartha i dtaca le sanasa\u00edocht nathanna, is \u00e9 sin, gur minic a aims\u00edtear bunbhr\u00ed n\u00f3 bun\u00fas natha i m\u00f3rth\u00e9acsanna liteartha a raibh t\u00f3ir orthu agus a raibh meas ag pobail labhartha \u00e1irithe orthu ag tr\u00e9imhs\u00ed \u00e9ags\u00fala sa stair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Katie N\u00ed Loingsigh of University College Cork (UCC) delivered a seminar entitled \u2018Hidden Gems: Phraseology and Culture in Irish\u2019 on 31 January 2024. The seminar was attended by a range of scholars with expertise in Irish, French, Portuguese, and Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr N\u00ed Loingsigh\u2019s seminar highlighted that the cultural underpinnings of phraseology remain understudied. As one of the oldest literary languages in Europe, the Irish language holds a wealth of idioms. These idioms appeared throughout history both in the literary tradition and within vernacular speech.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One example of an idiom that has developed over time in Irish-language literature is: \u2018\u00f3 Shamhain go Bealtaine\u2019 [from November to May]. This expression can be used when the end is not predictable or when something could take a long time to finish. \u2018Sc\u00e9al \u00f3 Shamhain go Bealtaine\u2019 [A story from November to May] is used when someone tells a long drawn-out story. \u2018Cleamhnas \u00f3 Shamhain go Bealtaine\u2019 refers to a prolonged engagement, while \u2018Gn\u00f3 \u00f3 Shamhain go Bealtaine\u2019 [literally, work from November to May] indicates a task that takes more time than expected. Dr N\u00ed Loingsigh contends that these phraseological expressions demonstrate a cultural worldview, as \u2018the period of time cited in the above expressions is not directly related to the Gregorian months; or rather, the expression \u00f3 Shamhain go Bealtaine functions as a generic temporal reference emanating from an alternative conception or perception of time\u2019 (2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation was followed by a lively discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
