Abstract:

This textbook serves a dual purpose. It is, first, a comprehensive
introduction to historical linguistics, intended for both undergraduate and
graduate students who have taken, at the least, an introductory course in
linguistics. Secondly, unlike many such textbooks, this one is based in the
theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics, a semantics-based theory which
emphasizes the relationship between cognition and language. Descriptions and
explanations touch on cognitive, social, and physiological aspects of language
as it changes across time. Examples come principally from Germanic (English,
German, Yiddish) and Romance (French and Spanish), but with some exploration
of aspects of the history of other languages as well. Each chapter concludes
with exercises based on material in the chapter and also with suggestions for
extensions of the content to wider issues in diachronic linguistics.
