Abstract:

This volume collects essays that approach notions of creating, maintaining,
and crossing boundaries in the history of the English language. The concept of
boundaries is variously defined within linguistics depending on the
theoretical framework, from formal and theoretical perspectives to specific
fields and more empirical, physical, and perceptual angles. The contributions
to this volume do not take one particular theoretical or methodological
approach but, instead, explore how examining various types of
boundaries—linguistic, conceptual, analytical, generic, physical—helps us
illuminate and account for historical use, variation, and change in English.
In their exploration of various topics in the history of English,
contributions ask a range of questions: what does it mean to set up boundaries
between time periods? When do language varieties have distinct boundaries and
when do they overlap? Where do language users draw up clausal, constructional,
semantic, phonetic/phonological boundaries? Thus, the chapters explore not
only how boundaries illustrate synchronic and diachronic features in the
history of the English language but also what we can discover by questioning
perceived or actual boundaries.
