Summary "Elements of Gaelic Grammar" by Alexander Stewart is a comprehensive grammatical treatise on the Scottish Gaelic language written in the late 19th century. The work is structured into four main parts, focusing on pronunciation and orthography, parts of speech, syntax, and derivation and composition. This grammar is intended for both scholars and learners, aiming to elucidate the principles of Gaelic grammar in a clear and systematic manner, thus promoting the understanding and preservation of the language. At the start of the grammar, the author presents a thorough introduction that discusses the utility and significance of a Gaelic grammar textbook in a time when the language was facing decline. Stewart makes an argument for the cultivation of Gaelic, highlighting its role in conveying knowledge and culture to speakers who may otherwise be excluded from learning. The opening portion outlines the scope of the grammar and introduces foundational concepts of Gaelic phonology, detailing the vowel and consonant systems essential for understanding pronunciation, paving the way for the detailed exploration of the language's grammatical structure that follows.
