Abstract:

This volume consists of 19 papers presented at the 16th International
Conference on Historical Linguistics, which was held in August 2003 in
Copenhagen and drew the largest number of participants and the widest array
of languages that this important biannual conference has ever had. As with
previous volumes, the papers selected cover a wide range of subjects
besides the core areas of historical linguistics, and this time include
studies on ethnolinguistics, grammaticalisation, language contact,
sociolinguistics, and typology. The individual languages treated include
Brazilian Portuguese, Chukchi, Korean, Danish, English, German, Greek,
Japanese, Kok-Papónk, Latin, Newar, Old Norse, Romanian, Seneca, Spanish,
and Swedish. The volume reflects the state of the art--both empirical and
theoretical--in Historical Linguistics today, and shows the discipline to
be as flourishing and capable of new advances as ever.
