Abstract:

English historical linguistics is a subfield of linguistics which has
developed theories and methods for exploring the history of the English
language. This Handbook provides an account of state-of-the-art research on
this history. It offers an in-depth survey of materials, methods, and
language-theoretical models used to study the long diachrony of English. The
frameworks covered include corpus linguistics, historical sociolinguistics,
historical pragmatics and manuscript studies, among others. The chapters, by
leading experts, examine the interplay of language theory and empirical data
throughout, critically assessing the work in the field. Of particular
importance are the diverse data sources which have become increasingly
available in electronic form, allowing the discipline to develop in new
directions. The Handbook offers access to the rich and many-faceted spectrum
of work in English historical linguistics, past and present, and will be
useful for researchers and students interested in hands-on research on the
history of English.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and

also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department

and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
