Abstract:

This is the first extensive study of Old English to utilise the insights and
methodologies of sociolinguistics. Building on previous philological and
historical work, it takes into account the sociology and social dialectology
of Old English and offers a description of its speech communities informed by
the theory of social networks and communities of practice. Specifically, this
book uses data from historical narratives and legal documents and examines the
interplay of linguistic innovation, variation, and change with such
sociolinguistic parameters as region, scribal office, gender, and social
status. Special attention is given to the processes of supralocalisation and
their correlation with periods of political centralisation in the history of
Anglo-Saxon England.
