Abstract
This book is an attempt to examine certain currently controversial issues in the theory of grammar in the light of data from a single language — namely, Modern Irish. Its primary aim is to develop a fragment of a grammar for the language — that is, a precisely-defined syntax and semantics for what I hope is an interestingly large body of data. The syntactic framework is that of transformational syntax; the semantic framework is that which has come to be known as Montague Grammar. I hope that the work may serve a number of different purposes.
