Abstract:

The volume features a selection of new work presented at the 2004 meeting 
of the International Conference on English Historical Linguistics (ICEHL). 
Main conference themes reflected in this volume are: the maturation and 
broadening of historical corpus linguistics, a new interest in English for 
Specific Purposes as a diachronic phenomenon, and the role of grammar 
writing in the process of change. A further thematic strand of this book is the 
significance of functional aspects in the development of grammar and 
discourse, especially in domains beyond phonology and morphology. Several 
contributions focus on the operation of socio-pragmatic and functional 
factors in historically identifiable social networks, especially in the 18th 
century. Apart from that there is also a strong emphasis on developments in 
the 19th and 20th centuries.
