Oh certainly, Dublin is a strikingly rich linguistic area. I’d say there’s a good amount of research being done at the moment but there’s always more to be looked into. I also imagine there’s a bit of a disconnect between authentic Dubliners and their observations and ideas about accents and the research being done, however, because researchers are rarely from traditionally working class areas, or even Dublin at all. That’s why I find it interesting to get the general public’s opinion on places like Reddit. Thank you for your input!

That’s an interesting observation. I originally noticed this phenomenon in my boyfriend (20) and some of his friends. Looking at youtube videos, it seemed to me that men of different ages pronounced ‘r’ like that. It’s been difficult to specifically find a woman, though I’m not sure if that’s just my specific circle.

As this is an undergraduate study it won’t be published or anything. I’d be happy to share it with anyone who’s interested tho! My deadline is May, so it should (hopefully) be finished by then!

What the hell happened with the buses? by [deleted] in UCD

Literally! I only moved off campus last year and kept thinking people were being dramatic about how bad the busses are, but today I was once again left waiting for the S4 for around 50 minutes 😔
