Abstract:

Is English changing? To what degree is it changing? Is this change good or
bad? In answering these questions, Is English Changing? provides a lively and
concise introduction to language change, refuting commonly held misconceptions
about language evolution as we understand it. Showing that English, like all
living languages, has historically changed and continues to change, this book:

- analyzes developments in the lexicon, the way words are spoken or written,
and the way in which speakers and writers use words;

- offers a basic overview of the major subfields of linguistics, including
phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics,
all viewed through the prism of language change;

- discusses change over time with examples from Old English, Middle English,
and Modern English;

- reinforces important concepts with examples from other languages, including
Spanish, Japanese, and Czech;

- clearly defines key terms and includes advice on rules, usage, and style, as
well as ample annotated further reading and activities throughout.

Aimed at undergraduate students with little or no prior knowledge of
linguistics, this book is essential reading for those studying this topic for
the first time.
