Abstract:
Written by an international team of leading scholars, this engaging textbook
on the study of English historical linguistics is uniquely organized in terms
of theoretical approaches and perspectives. Each chapter features textboxes,
case studies, suggestions for further reading and exercises, enabling students
to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and guiding them
on undertaking further research. The case studies and exercises guide students
in approaching and manipulating empirical data, providing them with hands-on
experience of conducting linguistic research. An extensive variety of
approaches, from traditional to contemporary, is treated, including generative
approaches, historical sociolinguistic and pragmatic approaches,
psycholinguistic perspectives, grammaticalization theory, and discourse-based
approaches, as well as perspectives on standardization and language variation.
Each chapter applies the concepts discussed to data from the history of
English, and a glossary of key terms enables easy navigation and quick
cross-referencing. An essential resource for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students of the history of English linguistics.
