About this book
The papers in this volume aim at facilitating exchange between three fields of inquiry that are of great importance in historical linguistics: language change, (socio)linguistic research on variation, and contact linguistics. Drawing on a range of recently-developed methodological innovations, such as methods for quantifying the linguistic variation (that is a prerequisite for language change) or new corpus-based methods for investigating text-type variation, the contributors are able to trace linguistic change in different periods and contact situations, demonstrate how variation occurs, and in how far language change results out of this variation. Thus, the chapters go beyond core issues of language variation and change, focusing on the boundary between word and grammar, discourse and ideology in the history of the English language.
Reviews
Joan C. Beal, University of Sheffield:
This collection of papers from the 17th International Conference on English Historical Linguistics demonstrates the multifarious nature of this discipline. Contributions from both established and up-and-coming scholars present a wide range of studies cutting across the themes of language variation, contact and change over all periods from Old English to the very recent past and including world Englishes. This volume provides an exciting snapshot of a dynamic discipline and is essential reading for those wanting to know the state of the art in English (socio-)historical linguistics.
