Historical Linguistics 1997
Selected Papers from ICHL XIII, Duesseldorf, 10-17 August 1997
Edited by Monika S. Schmid, Jennifer R. Austin and Dieter Stein

"Historical Linguistics 1997" represents a rigorously reviewed selection of
papers presented at the 13th International Conference on Historical
Linguistics. The proceedings offer a window on the current state of the art
in historical linguistics: They cover a wide range of different languages,
different language families, and different approaches to the study of
linguistic change, ranging from optimality theory, theories of
grammaticalization and the invisible hand, treatments of language contact
and creolization to the linguistic consequences of political correctness.
Among the languages under discussion are Akkadian, Catalan, Dutch, Finnish,
Japanese, Sranan, Western Malayo-Polynesian, Yiddish, and a variety of
Romance and Native American languages.
