Abstract:

"Speech Representation in the History of English" explores speech
representation of the past, providing in-depth analyses of how speakers and
writers mark, structure, and discuss a previous speech event or fictional
speech. Focusing on the Early Modern English and the Late Modern English
periods (1500-1900), this volume covers topics such as parentheses as markers
of represented speech, the development of like as a reporting expression, the
gradual formation of free indirect speech reporting, and the interpersonal
functions of represented speech. Chapters draw on a wide range of
methodologies, including historical sociolinguistics, pragmatics, and corpus
linguistics, and cover many genres from witness depositions, literary texts,
and letters, to the spoken language of the recent past.

In this comprehensive volume, Peter Grund and Terry Walker bring together a
collection of works that use cutting-edge approaches to speech representation.
Researchers and students of the history of English, sociolinguistics, and
discourse studies alike will find "Speech Representation in the History of
English" to be an invaluable addition to the field.
