Abstract:

Language is largely comprised of face-to-face spoken interaction; however,
the method, description and theory of traditional historical accounts of
English have been largely based on scholarly and literary writings. Using
the Corpus of English Dialogues 1560-1760, Culpeper and Kytö offer a unique
account of the linguistic features in several speech-related written
genres, comprising trial proceedings, witness depositions, plays, fiction
and didactic works. The volume is the first to provide innovative analyses
of several neglected written genres, demonstrating how they might be
researched, and highlighting the theories which are needed to underpin this
research. Through this, the authors are able to create a fascinating
insight into what spoken interaction in Early Modern English might have
been like, providing an alternative perspective to that often presented in
traditional historical accounts of English.

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.
