More about the book
The book explores the evolution of the Cornish language, highlighting the significant differences between revived Cornish and traditional texts. It critiques the revivalists' tendency to replace English borrowings with Celtic etyma, arguing that such changes undermine the authentic character of Cornish. The author emphasizes that English words have historically been integral to the language, contributing to its unique identity. By drawing on traditional texts, the book aims to help learners engage with a form of Cornish that is more faithful to its roots.
