Abstract:

Historical Linguistics, the study of language change, is a major field in
linguistics. With its long history and numerous subfields of its own,
Historical Linguistics provides challenges to both beginning students and
scholars not specialized in this field. This glossary meets these
challenges by providing accessible and widely representative definitions,
discussion, and examples of key terms and concepts used in the field.  It
is written by two well-known authorities in this field. The book is
extremely valuable to anyone wishing to understand historical linguistic
terminology and concepts. 

Key features:

*A handy, easily understandable pocket guide, and a valuable companion for
courses in Historical Linguistics, history of individual languages, history
of linguistics, and for anyone curious about how and why languages change.

*Numerous cross-references to related terms

*Covers new as well as traditional terminology

*Not only defines, but provides examples and relevant discussion
