Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Volume 4 Early Modern English

Abstract

The present chapter provides a brief outline of Shakespeare’s linguistic contribution to EModE. As a starting point, important reference works and tools for further research are introduced. Then some general considerations on Shakespeare’s language are presented, because Shakespeare’s language, or rather his use of language, can, and in fact has been defined in broader or narrower terms. The description and illustration of Shakespeare’s language begins with a section on pronunciation, then moves on to vocabulary and grammar and ends with pragmatic and sociolinguistic studies and other relatively recent trends. Each section begins by listing basic works on a topic and then presents more detailed or more advanced studies, usually in chronological order. Where necessary, illustrative examples are provided.
