What does it mean when a language becomes 'postvernacular'? A series of presentations on Irish, Gaelic, Breton, Cornish … and Gaulish!
This concept will be explored through a number of case studies involving some Celtic languages by guests to and staff of the Celtic Research Unit at the Faculty of English, AMU.

Why could Gaulish never become a ‘postvernacular language’ but Cornish could?

All welcome.
