Abstract:

How were you and thou used in Early Modern England? What were the
typical ways of ordering others in Early Medieval England? How was the
speech of others represented in the nineteenth-century novel? This
volume answers these questions and more by providing an overview of
the field of English historical pragmatics. Following introductory
chapters which set out the scope of the field and address methods and
challenges, core chapters focus on a range of topics, including
pragmatic markers, speech representation, politeness, speech acts,
address terms, and register, genre, and style. Each chapter describes
the object of study, defines essential terms and concepts, and
discusses the methodologies used. Succinct and clear summaries of
studies in the field are presented and are richly illustrated with
corpus data. Presenting a comprehensive and accessible yet
state-of-the-art introduction to the field, it is essential reading
for both students and academic researchers.
