PADGETT, MCGUIRE AND NÍ CHIOSÁIN ON THE RADIO

Media interest in the department’s NSF Project on palatalization in Irish continues apace. On Thursday January 15th PI’s Jaye Padgett and Grant McGuire, along with Co-PI Máire Ní Chiosáin of University College Dublin, were interviewed at length on the morning news show of NPR’s Monterey affiliate KAZU. They spoke about the goals of the project and the work that is to be done. You can listen to the interview here and (among other things) hear Máire patiently instruct the interviewer on the niceties of producing palatal consonants in Conamara Irish.
