Abstract:

The study of ego-documents figures as a prominent theme in cutting-edge
research in the Humanities. Focusing on private letters, diaries and
autobiography, this volume covers a wide range of different languages and
historical periods, from the sixteenth century to World War I. The volume
stands out by its consistent application of the most recent developments in
historical-sociolinguistic methodology in research on first-person writings.
Some of the articles concentrate on social differences in relation to
linguistic variation in the historical context. Others hone in on
self-representation, writer-addressee interaction and identity work. The key
issue of the relationship between speech and writing is addressed when
investigating the hybridity of ego-documents, which may contain both “oral”
features and elements typical of the written language. The volume is of
interest to a wide readership, ranging from scholars of historical
linguistics, sociolinguistics, sociology and social history to (advanced)
graduate and postgraduate students in courses on language variation and
change.
