Abstract:
Please Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.
This accessible, hands-on textbook not only introduces students to the
important topics in historical linguistics but also shows them how to apply
the methods described and how to think about the issues. Abundant examples and
exercises allow students to focus on how to do historical linguistics. The
book is distinctive for its integration of the standard topics with others now
considered important to the field, including syntactic change,
grammaticalization, sociolinguistic contributions to linguistic change,
distant genetic relationships, areal linguistics, and linguistic prehistory.
It also offers a defense of the family tree model, a response to recent claims
on lexical diffusion/frequency, and a section on why languages diversify and
spread. Examples are taken from a broad range of languages; those from the
more familiar English, French, German, and Spanish make the topics more
accessible, while those from non-Indo-European languages show the depth and
range of the concepts they illustrate.
This third edition includes new material based on the latest developments in
the field, increased coverage of computational approaches, and additional
exercises. Many of the chapters have been revised or expanded, with new
coverage of such topics as morphological change, language families, language
isolates, language diversity, the Romani migration case, and misconceptions in
recent work about historical linguistics. New for this edition is a
downloadable instructor’s manual with answers to exercises.
