AEDEI opens two calls that will support quality research in the field of Irish Studies in Spain: the Eibhear Walshe Research Grants. One call funds one pre-doctoral project, and another one supports a postdoctoral/ senior research project. Deadline for applications is open until 15th September.

My favourite line from #ICAME46 so far: "linguists can also be fanatic about something". It's a curse and a blessing! 😁

Back after the coffee break (bring your walking shoes! getting a few steps in today 🏃‍♀️): David Sotoca Fernández & Carolina Amador-Moreno presenting on "Letter-writing and speech act analysis: Tracing (im)politeness patterns in historical Irish English" #SpeechActsWorkshop #ICAME46

So excited to be a part of this! 😄
