Abstract:

Covering nearly one thousand years, this volume explores medieval and
modern English texts from fresh perspectives. Within the relatively
new field of historical discourse linguistics, the synchronic analysis
of large textual units and consideration of text-external features in
relation to discourse has so far received little attention. To fill
that gap, this volume offers studies of medieval instructional and
religious texts and correspondence from the early modern period. The
contributions highlight writer-audience relationships, the intended
use of texts, descriptions of text-type, and questions of orality and
manuscript contextualization. The topics, ranging from the reception
of Old English texts to the conventions of practical instruction in
Middle English to the epistolary construction of science in early
Modern English, are directly relevant to historical linguists,
discourse and text linguists, and students of the history of English.
