Abstract:

This volume and its companion one (English Historical Syntax and
Morphology, CILT 223) offer a selection of papers from the Eleventh
International Conference on English Historical Linguistics held at the
University of Santiago de Compostela. From the rich programme (over
130 papers were given during the conference), the present thirteen
papers were carefully selected to reflect the state of current
research in the field of English historical linguistics. The areas
represented in the volume are lexis and semantics, text-types,
historical sociolinguistics and dialectology, and phonology. Many of
the articles tackle questions of change and linguistic periodization
through the use of methodological tools like corpora, linguistic
atlases, thesauri and historical dictionaries. The theoretical
frameworks adopted include, among others, multi-dimensional analysis,
systemic-functional grammar, Communication Accommodation Theory,
historical discourse analysis and Optimality Theory.
