Abstract

The article focuses on the interplay between the Irish and English languages, as illustrated through the poem by Maeve O’Sullivan. It highlights the ease with which bilingual speakers navigate between the two languages, contrasting this with the communication barriers faced by characters Lieutenant Yolland and Máire in Brian Friel’s play "Translations." The poem provides translations of various Irish words, emphasizing concepts such as decency, mindfulness, honesty, and dependability. Through this exploration, the text reflects on the complexities of language and meaning in communication. [Extracted from the article]
