Abstract:

The present volume brings together leading scholars studying language change
from a variety of sociolinguistic perspectives, complementing and enriching
the existing literature by providing readers with a kaleidoscopic perspective
of aspects of change in English from around 1700 until the present day. The
volume presents a collection of in-depth studies on a broad spectrum of
phonetic, lexical, grammatical and discourse variation, drawing on historical
corpora, dictionaries, metalinguistic commentary, ego-documents, spoken
language and survey data.

Apart from advancing our knowledge of processes of language change in
varieties of English, including British English, Irish English, Australian
English, South African English, American English and Canadian English, the
individual chapters contribute to the theoretical debates on variation and
change in Late Modern as well as Present-day English.
