‘A Linguistic Analysis of Paul Howard’s Ross O’Carroll-Kelly’

This Literature dissertation idea requires the scrutiny of the books ‘South Dublin – How to get by on, like, €10,000 a day’ and ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightdress’. The dissertation proposal will concentrate on Howard’s portrayal of the Dublin accents, looking at the differences in how characters speak, the words they choose and the possible reasons behind these techniques

Ireland has a unique take on the English language with distinct differentiation of accents specific to cities or towns. Howard has identified these differences and portrayed them within a series of books

The words “like” and “roysh” appear frequently throughout Howard’s novels and can form the basis of preliminary analysis on how the dialogue within the book is used, your analytical account should be able to highlight several reasons and effects of these words being used in the manner that they are throughout the novels

Relevant Literature Theory: Linguistic Analysis
