Projects In
addition to individual projects in the fields of research specialisms,
the Institute is engaged in a number of team research projects,
funded by external bodies. The main projects of this nature
are in the areas of Irish lexicography; textual corpora, including
linkage with dictionaries; applied language studies; the sociolinguistics
of the Celtic languages; religion, mythology and literature;
folk literature; Scottish Gaelic literature of emigration/immigration;
Celtic and other IE languages and cultures. Funding has been
received from the AHRC (eDIL, includes 2 Research Officers),
British Academy (funding for Visiting Professorship and colloquia
in Celto-Slavica and Celto-Indica), Research Council of the
United Kingdom (Modern Irish Lexicography and Scottish Gaelic
literature, 2 Research Fellows), Higher Education Authority,
Republic of Ireland North-South Collaborative Research Programme
(Linking Dictionaries and Texts, 2 Research Officers), INTAS
(The Power of Words in Medieval Ireland,), Ulster Scots Agency
(Conference and Proceedings on Folk Literature), and Vera Furness
(Modern Irish Lexicography, 1 Research Officer, 1 Research Assistant).
The Institute is also in
receipt of £3.2m from the Support Programme for University
Research (SPUR), a public/private initiative to promote research
in Northern Ireland, which led to the establishment of the
Academy for Irish Cultural Heritages and the creation of 11
posts (3 Chairs, 8 Lectureships). External funding was also
received to establish a Chair of Modern Irish, together with
Research Studentships, at the Magee campus of the University.
