Abstract:

Traditional discussions of linguistic change usually limit themselves to
finding explanations for how particular past stages in a language could have
been arrived at. The most recent publication in the open access VARIENG series
reverses this perspective and addresses the question whether it is possible to
predict future linguistic change based on what we know about past stages of
the English language, present-day variant distribution and general principles
of linguistic change (e.g. the typical S-curves).
