Historical Linguistics is a series of advanced textbooks in Historical Linguistics, where individual volumes cover key subfields within Historical Linguistics in depth. As a whole, the series will provide a comprehensive introduction to this broad and increasingly complex field. The series is aimed at advanced undergraduates in Linguistics and students in language departments, as well as beginning postgraduates who are looking for an entry point. Volumes in the series are serious and scholarly university textbooks, theoretically informed and substantive in content. Every volume will contain pedagogical features such as recommendations for further reading, but the tone of each volume is discursive, explanatory and critically engaged, rather than 'activity-based'. Notes should be incorporated into the text.
