Abstract:

To understand the characteristics of present-day English language and
culture we must have some understanding of the earlier stages of language
use. Bells Chiming from the Past investigates the early development
of English and covers different aspects of English medieval studies, from
traditional philological concerns, to the most recent perspectives of
modern linguistics applied to early English texts. Most of the papers are
based on empirical research in English Historical Linguistics, and will
contribute substantially to our theoretical and descriptive understanding
of English varieties, both written and spoken.

The book focuses on the relationship and interaction of language and
culture during the Middle English period. Some of the articles are clearly
linguistically-oriented, but most could be included under a wider
philological perspective since they study both language and the cultural
milieu in which linguistic events took place.

Bells Chiming from the Past is aimed at an international readership
and makes a desirable addition to the field of Historical Linguistics,
featuring as it does contributions from an array of well-known
professionals from different academic and scientific institutions.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
