John Benjamins Publishing is pleased to announce a new book series in
Historical Sociolinguistics.

Advances in Historical Sociolinguistics

Over the last three decades, historical sociolinguistics has developed into a
mature and challenging field of study that focuses on language users and
language use in the past. The social motivation of linguistic variation and
change continues at the forefront of the historical sociolinguistic enquiry,
but current research does not stop there. It extends from social and regional
variation in language use to its various communicative contexts, registers and
genres, and includes issues in language attitudes, policies and ideologies.
One of the main stimuli for the field comes from new digitized resources and
large text corpora, which enable the study of a much wider social coverage
than before. Historical sociolinguists use variationist and dialectological
research tools and techniques, perform pragmatic and social network analyses,
and adopt innovative approaches from other disciplines. The series publishes
monographs and thematic volumes, in English, on different languages and topics
that contribute to our understanding of the relations between the individual,
language and society in the past. Book proposals are invited and can be sent
to the Editors.
