Abstract:

The past few decades have witnessed an unprecedented surge of interest in the
language of the Late Modern English period. "Late Modern English: Novel
Encounters" covers a broad range of topics addressed by international experts
in fields such as phonology, morphology, syntax, lexis, spelling and
pragmatics; this makes the collection attractive to any scholar or student
interested in the history of English. Each of the four thematic sections in
the book represents a core area of Late Modern English studies. This division
makes it easy for specialists to access the chapters that are of immediate
relevance to their own work. An introductory chapter establishes connections
between chapters within as well as between the four sections. The volume
highlights recent advances in research methodology such as spelling
normalization and other areas of corpus linguistics; several contributions
also shed light on the interplay of internal and external factors in language
change.
