‘the words I taught to him’: Interfusional Language Play and Brian O’Nolan’s ‘Revenge on the English’
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article discusses the interlingual and cross-cultural resonances of the Irish language in the English and French intertextuality of O’Nolan’s short fiction and column writing through the coordinate of 'interfusionality.' The argument follows two interrelated strands: the first addresses the language theories expressed in O'Nolan's short story ‘Díoghaltais ar Ghallaibh ’sa Bhliain 2032!,’ published in <i>The Irish Press</i> in 1932, and the second traces this hybridity in the first <i>Cruiskeen Lawn</i> column through a compartive reading of Myles and 'An Broc' with Alphonse Allais, Edward Lear, and Stephen Leacock. The aim is to show that these works share a common theme wherein O’Nolan satirises Ireland’s language debate by employing hybridised language and projecting either the growth or destruction of Irish within the comic arc of satire. <b>To read the article, click Download or View PDF.</b><br>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
