Abstract:

This is the first of two volumes of papers selected from those given
at the 12th International Conference on English Historical
Linguistics. The second is New Perspectives on English Historical
Linguistics (2): Lexis and Transmission. Together the volumes provide
an overview of many of the issues that are currently engaging
practitioners in the field. In this volume, the primary concern is
with the historical grammar of English. Some papers take a broad
overview of the subject, positioning it within current advances in
linguistic theory, while others deal with specific points of syntax
and morphology in a historical context. There is a recurrent emphasis
on data collection and analysis, with a chronological range from Old
to Present Day English, and a geographical spread from Scotland to
Newfoundland. Contributions from scholars around the world remind us
that not only English itself but the history of English is now an
international possession.
