(TOPICS IN ENGLISH LINGUISTICS 35)

This collection of articles reflects the present state of the art in
Middle English linguistics. Internal processes of linguistic change
are assessed in their context in relation to sociohistorical,
sociocultural, textual, situational as well as regional and
contact-based factors causing variation in language. Many articles
combine two or more approaches to analysis and tackle questions of
change through the new methodological tools offered by corpora,
thesauri, and atlases. A systematic use of these sources for
linguistic evidence will add to our knowledge of the variable
character of Middle English and enable us to revise our earlier views
of the developments at this stage of the English language.

The thematic connections between the articles assembled in this volume
mirror the central and integrating role of 'the word' in almost all
matters linguistic. With formal and descriptive aspects of the word
(in inflection and derivation) at the centre, the contributions branch
out into phonology, syntax, pragmatics and, most importantly,
semantics. In terms of languages, the focus is mainly on English
(synchronically and diachronically) but Hungarian, Polish and German
are also considered among others. The theoretical focus lies on
various aspects of language change on the one hand, and on
morphological concepts such as productivity, or the morphological
status of items on the other.
