The author analyzes, from a historical sociolinguistic point of
view, selected domains of morphosyntactic variation in a 250,000
word collection of the Middle English Paston Letters (1421-1503).
In three case studies, two nominal and one verbal variable are
described and discussed in detail: the replacement of Old English
pronouns by borrowed pronouns, the introduction and spread of
>wh-relativizers, and the spread and routinization of light verb
constructions (take, make, give, have, do plus deverbal noun).
While the author aims at a balanced integration of different
approaches in sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, typology,
and language change, the main focus is on social network theory and
the role of the linguistic individual in the formation and change
of linguistic structures.
