Information Structure and Syntactic Change in the History of
English is the first book to apply information structure as it
relates to language change to a corpus-based analysis of a wide
range of features in the evolution of English syntax and grammars
of prose in long diachrony. Its unifying topic is the role of
information structure, broadly conceived, as it interacts with the
other levels of linguistic description, syntax, morphology,
prosody, semantics and pragmatics. The volume comprises twelve
chapters by leading scholars who take a variety of theoretical and
methodological approaches. Their work affirms, among other things,
that motivations for selecting a particular syntactic option vary
from information structure in the strict sense to discourse
organization, or a particular style or register, and can also be
associated with external forces such as the development of a
literary culture.
