Ulster-Scots: Bilingualism
The 19th century saw the submergence of the Ulster-Scots language.
Willie Drennan tells Helen Mark about his work nowadays promoting Ulster-Scots in the classroom; and Agnes Barron and her son James talk about how they spoke one language in school but quite another outside in the playground.
Brian McLaughlin and James Fenton also describe this 'switching' from one tongue to another, a form of bilingualism. (Broadcast: 05/06/1999)
