Abstract:

This volume drawn from the 20th International Conference on English Historical
Linguistics (ICEHL, Edinburgh 2018) focuses on the role of language contact in
the history of English. It showcases a wide variety of historical linguistic
approaches, including ‘big data’ analyses of large corpora, dialectological
methods, and the study of translated texts. It also breaks new ground by
applying relevant insights from other fields, among them postcolonial
linguistics and anthropology. This pluralistic approach brings new and
under-studied issues within the scope of explanation, and challenges some
long-held assumptions about the nature of historical change in English. The
volume will be of interest to an audience interested in the history of
English, and the impact of its contact with Viking Age Norse, Old French, and
Latin.
