Project description
Fresh insights to Celtic studies, ancient history, and digital humanities
In the heart of Northern Italy and the Alpine region, there are whispers of an ancient Celtic legacy. Concealed within inscriptions from the Iron Age, these enigmatic markings hold linguistic and sociolinguistic secrets. They also offer glimpses into a past that defies easy understanding. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the CLINIAR project aims to decode the origins and dimensions of early Celtic languages. Through linguistic analysis and historical integration, this project promises to unveil insights that resonate across Celtic studies, fragmentary languages, and ancient history, while forging new pathways in the realm of digital humanities. By analysing inscriptions from Cisalpine Celtic sources and weaving them into their historical and archaeological context, CLINIAR aims to illuminate the enigmatic origins of Celtic languages.
Objective
The research project CLINIAR Celtic Language and Identity in Northern Italy and the Alpine Region investigates the linguistic and sociolinguistic landscape of Celtic Northern Italy and the Alpine region in the Iron Age. The project will be conducted at Maynooth University (MU, Ireland) under the supervision of the leading authority in Celtic linguistics, Professor David Stifter, with secondment to Universit Bordeaux Montaigne (UBM, France) under the supervision of Dr Coline Ruiz Darasse to receive training in Gaulish epigraphy and historical sociolinguistics. Short visits to repositories in Italy will be made for data collection. Through close linguistic analysis of the Cisalpine Celtic corpus of inscriptions and the subsequent integration of the data into their archaeological and historical context, the project will result in a better understanding of the earliest attested Celtic languages in their historical and social dimensions, and offer new methodologies to scholars and professionals working in Celtic studies, fragmentary languages, ancient history, and digital humanities.
