N2  - Part sociolinguistic, part ethnographic, this book takes up the neglected question of how ethnic division interacts with variation and change in Northern Irish English. It identifies an idealised folk model of harmonious  communities, in spite of the social divide and open conflict that have long affected the region; this model affects daily life and sociolinguistic studies alike
