One of the most important factors in language change is synchronic
variation due to social differences including gender-specific language
use. The papers in the present volume all address this topic in
connection with the history of English. They range from Chaucer's and
Shakespeare's forms of address to questions of political correctness
today; they also include the discussion of attitudes to regional
variation and of the influence of social variation on syntax and
phonology as well as the role of standardization in a social context.
