"The Dublin Language Garden, 16 September 2016"
The Dublin Language Garden is an annual one-night event that will take a ‘snapshot’ of all the different varieties of languages spoken in Dublin on Culture Night, 16th September 2016.  The Linguistics Researchers from Trinity College Dublin will document these varieties by writing words, phrases and submissions from all visitors to the garden on flowers and leaves, and using them to build up the Dublin Language Garden!

PhD student Aoife Finn's linguistic research makes headlines in New Zealand!
Aoife Finn's PhD research into the syntax of the Maori dialect te reo is making the headlines here and down under! Much like the Irish language, te reo is spoken by only a minority of the indigenous people, and Aoife is one of a select few linguists globally who have devoted themselves to studying the language. Aoife, who is a PhD student of Dr. Brian Nolan, was recently invited as a special guest of Te Wananga O Aotearoa to take part in their national language celebrations. 
See this video of Aoife's appearance on New Zealand National News!
Read this Irish Times report on Aoife's work.
