Abstract:

This volume provides a diachronic and synchronic overview of linguistic
variability and change in involved, speech-related and spoken texts in
English. While previous works on the topic have focused on more limited time
periods, this book covers data from the 16th century up to the present day.
The studies offer new insights into historical and present-day corpus
pragmatics by identifying and exploring features of orality in a variety of
registers. For readers who are new to the field, the range of approaches will
provide a helpful overview; for readers who are already familiar with the
field, the volume will shed light on the complexity of factors such as
register, sociolinguistic variability and language attitude, thus making it a
useful resource and stepping stone for further exploration. The volume
celebrates the groundbreaking contributions of Professor Merja Kytö in making
accessible speech-related corpus material and leading the way in its
exploration.
