    Biography

    Current Research Interests: Language variation and change in Old Irish, comparative Celtic linguistics (esp. Old Irish and Continental Celtic), language contact in the ancient world and on the early medieval British Isles.

    Professor David Stifter is Professor of Old Irish at Maynooth University Department of Early Irish since 2011. He received an ERC Consolidator Grant for the project 'Chronologicon Hibernicum - A Probabilistic Chronological Framework for Dating Early Irish Language Developments and Literature' (Horizon2020 Grant Agreement no. 647351) in 2015. He studied Latin, Russian and Indo-European linguistics at the University of  Vienna, and received his Mag. Phil. in 1998 for a thesis on the Old Irish influence on the Latin of the Nauigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis. As part of his studies, he spent the year 1995/6 at Maynooth University studying Old and Middle Irish with Prof. Kim McCone. In 2003 he was awarded his PhD for a thesis on the Didactics of Old Irish.

    From 2000–2008 David Stifter was contract assistant at the Department of Linguistics at the University of Vienna. During this time, he played a major role in establishing and developing the Celtic studies programme at the University. He is a founding member and secretary of the Societas Celtologica Europaea (European Association of Celtic Studies scholars)

    From 2006, he directed and worked on three different research projects:

    Prof. Stifter is currently Principal Investigator in the ERC-funded project Chronologicon Hibernicum - A Probabilistic Chronological Framework for Dating Early Irish Language Developments and Literature' (https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/chronhib

    Professor Stifter has published widely on the Old and Middle Irish language and literature, and on the Continental Celtic languages (Celtiberian, Gaulish and Lepontic). His introductory handbook Sengoídelc. Old Irish for Beginners (Syracuse University Press 2006) has been adopted for teaching Old Irish in universities world-wide and was awarded the 2006 Michael J. Durkan Prize for Books on Language and Culture of the American Conference for Irish Studies.

    He is founder and editor of the interdisciplinary Celtic-studies journal Keltische Forschungen (Vienna 2006–).  He co-edited several volumes in Celtic and Indo-European linguistics, among them the four-volume collection The Celtic World. Critical Concepts in Historical Studies (Routledge 2007).

    DiAgnostic: Tracing Diatopic Variation in a Corpus of Old Irish PI Did Old Irish, the language spoken across the whole island of Ireland and in neighbouring regions approximately in the 7th–10th centuries A.D., have dialects? Old Irish is documented in a large body of texts, but, despite a good amount of language variation among them, the extant texts seem to show no diatopic, i.e. regional or dialectal variation between them. DiAgnostic will study the linguistic variation of Old Irish specifically in the search for diatopic differences. For this, the project will create the first deeply annotated, regionally diversified textual corpus of Old Irish to trace, analyse and document synchronic variation across the Gaelic regions. By making novel contributions to the sociolinguistic history and prehistory of the earliest stages of Irish, the project will will answer key historical-linguistic research questions: 1. Does the synchronic variation observable in Old Irish reflect diatopic variation across Ireland in the early medieval period, and is it possible to disentangle diachronic from synchronic variation? 2. Is Old Irish actually the proto-language of all later Gaelic languages and dialects, and how does early medieval variation relate to modern dialect differences between the Gaelic languages? 3. What does the linguistic situation in the early medieval period reveal about the prehistory of the island (e.g. the Celticisation of Ireland and Britain), and how can this be compared or combined with the most recent palaeogenetic and archaeological data? Methodological progress and ‘game-changers’ will be achieved in the use of computational and statistical methods for Old Irish, grammatically a particularly complex and challenging language. This will also push more generally the boundaries of quantificational and analytical methods for underdocumented languages that are not well served by the dominant methods that favour large amounts of data. 01/12/2023 30/11/2027 999957
