Abstract:

This volume brings together an international group of linguists from a
diverse range of research backgrounds to explore the cycles of change
in the world's languages. Historical linguistics does not solely focus
on reconstructing a language's linguistic past and exploring the
mechanisms underlying previous language changes; it also addresses
broader questions concerning the development and ongoing evolution of
language. The chapters in this book draw on data both from languages
from the distant past, such as Hittite, Proto-Turkic, and Proto-Bantu,
and from present-day languages including Akan, Cantonese, Kuuk
Thaayorre, Seliš-Ql'ispé, Nivaclé, and Spanish. The contributions
showcase current research in historical linguistics and exemplify the
dynamism and inherently interdisciplinary nature of the field.
