Abstract
Within the Plantagenet Empire, the «empire without a name» to use Jean-Philippe Genet’s beautiful phrase, linguistic uses as markers of second imperiality as formulated in the argument of the Imperialiter programme («the decisive influence exerted by imperial formalisation on non-imperial political constructions»), are particularly complex in view of the widespread multilingualism of the British Isles. Anglophone historiography is currently undergoing a profound renewal on these issues. This paper will therefore address some elements of this complexity in the island spaces – conquered by or at war with the English – in particular in relation to the interactions between referential, vehicular and vernacular languages, mainly Gaelic, in the last centuries of the Middle Ages. It will also be an opportunity to reflect on the degree of «imperial formalisation» defining second imperiality, a difficult task.
